>Dear Colleagues,
>
>As many of you are aware there is a ""movement"" amoung many academics to
>""free the literature"". That is making it more available through the use
>of: (A) journals that are free to access on-line (such as JASSS) and (B)
>the habit of placing pre-prints of papers, before they are submitted for
>publication, in an open acess archive.
>
>Up to now there has been no direct place for social simulations to be
>archived, indeed this lack has discussed at ESSA committee meetings.
>
>Now CogPrints - the large open access archive for everything related to
> cognition (including philosophy, AI, behaviour, ecology, social
>psychology etc.) have added a new category of ""Social Simulation"". This
>means that you can upload your papers there and people can register to
>recieve notice of any papers uploaded in that category. It will also
>allow sensible cross-indexing with the other categories there.
>
>Please use it - its interface is reasonably easy to use.
>
>Cogprints is available at: http://cogprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/
>
>Regards.
