This work tries to give some answers based on changes in the publishing of economics research preprints or working‐paper series. Institutions and some members of the economics community have created archives to facilitate access to working paper series. In this document, we evaluate the prospects for electronic publishing of economics preprints using an inventory of material available from institutions’ web sites. Also the paper contains an overview of some working‐paper archives managed by economists.Trends in publishing academic grey literature: examples from economics

Towards integration of information sources on grey literature: a case studyhttps://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/14666180010382572/full/html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=rss_journalLatestThe institutional goals and the organisational contexts of GL producers, determine the level and the process of production and diffusion. Furthermore GL producers do not all bring the same “dowry”: they have neither the same resources, nor the same information policy. Inspired by such considerations the Italian reference centre of SIGLE (System of Information on Grey Literature in Europe), has based its activity on the Cupertino with GL producers. To achieve this aim the Centre has evolved from a merely receptive role, consisting of pure and simple acquisition and bibliographic treatment of documents, to an active role, in order to control the very process of document production by exerting a consulting function on bibliographic aspects. In other words is the Centre that places itself at disposal of producers to solve all the problems connected with their participation in the SIGLE database. As an example of this policy the paper describes the interaction between the SIGLE Italian reference centre and the Library of Italian Chamber of Deputies which produces the database LEGO, which stands for Grey Literature Online, containing non commercial, official and administrative documents, produced and/or acquired by the Library since 1993. The consulting activity developed by the centre has allowed a fast and efficient acquisition of the document stored in LEGO. Finally the paper describes the type of documents in LEGO, the selection criteria and the issues connected with information integration.Towards integration of information sources on grey literature: a case study

Preserving the pyramid of STI using bucketshttps://www.emerald.com/insight/content/doi/10.1108/14666180010382581/full/html?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=rss_journalLatestConsiders a formal publication to represent an abstract to a larger body of work: a pvramid of scientific and technical information (STI). While this abstract may be sufficient for some applications, an in‐depth use or analysis is likely to require the supporting layers from the pyramid. Describes how “buckets” have been developed to preserve this pyramid of STI. Buckets provide an archive‐ and protoeol‐independent container construct in which all related information objects can be logically grouped together, archived, and manipulated as a single object. Furthermore, buckets are active archival objects and can communicate with each other, people, or arbitrary network services. Buckets are an implementation of the Smart Object, Dumb Archive (SODA) DL model. Discusses the motivation, design, and implication of bucket use in DLs with respect to grey literature.Preserving the pyramid of STI using buckets
