From: utzoo!decvax!duke!ucf-cs!tim Newsgroups: net.news.group Title: net.research proposal Article-I.D.: ucf-cs.555 Posted: Mon May 10 16:11:12 1982 Received: Tue May 11 02:23:02 1982 A suggestion for a "research abstact newsgroup" was made on net.general by Stephen Perelgut. I think it is a good idea. I might add that a standard format would be very useful for all items posted. Something that might include: Abstract Author[s] Affiliation[s] Availablity (published somewhere? public domain? could a copy be obtained electronically through the network? etc.) I suggest something similar to the form new network sites fill out when they join USENET. And the subject field should always be used for this newsgroup!!! Tim Curry usenet: duke!ucf-cs!tim csnet: tim.ucf-cs@udel-relay
