Due to the new possibilities that the internet and other information and communication technologies offer, and also to the scientists' and scholars' changing requirements, new distribution and dissemination channels appear in addition to the classical publishing houses. A leading development of the past years is the global Open Access movement that is committed to making scientific information, especially scientific and scholarly publications, available free of charge.
Most scientific and scholarly institutions have reacted to this and installed publication infrastructures in the form of so called document and publication servers, thus creating the possibility to make scientific and scholarly publications available online for a worldwide audience and to archive them.
