(264) Delete clause (c) of Rec. 29A.2: “29A.2. Authors of electronic material should give preference to publications that are archived and curated, satisfying the following criteria as far as is practical (see also Rec. 29A.1): (a) The material should be placed in multiple trusted online digital repositories, e.g. an ISO-certified repository. (b) Digital repositories should be in more than one area of the world and preferably on different continents. (c) Deposition of printed copies in libraries in more than one area of the world and preferably on different continents is also advisable (but see Rec. 30A.2).” Recommendations in the Code should be realistic. It is not realistic to expect libraries to deal with potentially huge numbers of what are essentially reprints. If authors wish to print copies of electronic publications and deposit them in libraries, they are free to do so, and the libraries can decide whether or not to accept or curate them.
