Connecting scholarly minds has never been more prevalent then today. Open Archives Initiative (OAI) provides free software for institutions to create OAI-compliant archives (Warner, 2003). This is important because it makes it easier to share research, and get it peer reviewed. It also helps organize data so that it can be more easily found when searching.
Standardizing the way data is put onto the Internet is very important because otherwise the Internet will become uneasy to use. The way research is posted on the Internet now has perimeters. It is important to remember to stick within them otherwise your research will not be seen.
The only problem is that when you post all of your research online, anyone can see it. You cannot protect your work from plagiarizers. When you post something online, it is for the world to see. Hopefully, those who are viewing your research remember to always follow the rules of academic research.
There is some resistance to OAI by the researchers because they would like to archive their data themselves. But what's the point of researching if no one else can read your work?
