Abstract
Modern documents, scientific articles and books are primarily issued
in electronic form and their availability depends on the publisher’s,
or the document owner’s, business ethics. The primary purpose of
publishing a scientific article is to communicate with the scientific
and professional community; therefore, the published article has to
be available worldwide. The question is: Who really needs scientific
papers from the 1960’s? In cases of brilliant and bold visionaries,
new concepts and scientific discoveries often come before their time;
hence they have to be “reinvented” decades later. Besides, the scientists of today can enter the spiritual spheres of their professional ancestors and give respect to their legacy.
We have processed more than 1 200 articles published by 1999 and
entered more than 6 000 names and surnames of authors.
