Re: Princeton/Stanford Working Papers Announcement

[Brian Simboli <brs4@lehigh.edu>]

With respect to below: what are the patterns in humanities fields 
regarding whether journal publishers will accept items if they have been 
previously published as working papers or "preprints"? Is the purpose for 
the resource below to enable authors to solicit comments prior to their 
submitting articles to a journal? Just curious. Brian Simboli
