crl-15233	Youngen, Gregory K.	Citation Patterns to Traditional and Electronic Preprints in the Published Literature	1998	9	.pdf	application/pdf	3926	130	47	In private communication with the editors, they said there is no rule against citing e-print numbers, but they just have not yet encountered citations to electronic preprints. With the exception of Astrophysi­ cal Journal, which states that “References to private communications, papers in 285 247 272 260 195 250 235 0 285 26 273 0 272 0 260 65 260 0 250 5 240 4 227 preparation, preprints, or other sources generally not available to readers should be avoided,” no firm rules for cit­ ing preprints were found.6 Physical Review D and Physical Review Letters (both published by the American Physical Society) contain no citations to the word preprint but rank very high on the list of e-print citations.	cache/crl-15233.pdf	txt/crl-15233.txt
