| Feb 2, 2014 at 14:41 | comment | added | François G. Dorais Mod | @MadScientist: Undeleting inappropriately deleted posts is not something we do every day but it happens often enough. I suspect it would be more frequent if we were more proactive about monitoring self-deletions. I just had a quick look and there were a few self-deletions in January that I would investigate further if I had time... | |
| Feb 2, 2014 at 12:02 | comment | added | user35354 | I'd also suspect that deletion is far less of a problem that one might think. Posts that are worth being cited are extremely unlikely to be removed by the community or moderators. The only case I can imagine is a user rage-quitting and trying to delete their own posts, but that is not possible on a large scale without being noticed. | |

| Feb 2, 2014 at 2:58 | comment | added | François G. Dorais Mod | @ScottMorrison: Yes, those are standard fees for journals. It's cheaper for other content types and it's not clear MO would fall into the \$1 category. If we find there is need for DOIs, we will need to negotiate with CrossRef (or others) for a better rate. | |
| Feb 2, 2014 at 2:40 | comment | added | Kim Morrison Mod | Creating DOIs via CrossRef crossref.org/02publishers/20pub_fees.html requires a \$275 per annum fee (for a nonprofit) plus \$1 per DOI. There are alternative registration agencies for DOIs doi.org/registration_agencies.html perhaps Medra (marginal cost of DOIs 0.65 euros) may be applicable to us. | |
| Feb 2, 2014 at 0:03 | comment | added | François G. Dorais Mod | @quid: That could be interesting to check. It might be a chicken/egg problem in the end. Incidentally, I was just reading another kind of citation: "This section benefits a lot from the discussion in [16]" where [16] is a reference to my answer here. | |
| Feb 1, 2014 at 23:59 | comment | added | user9072 | Are there many citations to MO that actually rely on the post being accessible? If I were to write say "The following lemma is due to F. G. Dorais [cite MO]. <Lemma> <Proof of Lemma>" it is not very relevant it is accessible, it is for giving credit, which is important, but nobody really needs to check it. But if I write "The following lemma is due to F. G. Dorais [cite MO]. <Lemma> (no proof!)" then it is key it is accessible. I suspect most quotes to be of former way (but I could be wrong, to know this is the main point of the cmnt). So "resistance" is a matter of style not accessability. | |
| Feb 1, 2014 at 23:25 | comment | added | François G. Dorais Mod | You pay crossref for each DOI assignment; prices vary. | |
| Feb 1, 2014 at 22:38 | comment | added | user35354 | I don't know how it works, but I'm wondering how you get DOIs. Do you pay once for a whole namespace, or do you pay for each entry? The first might work here, the latter would be problematic, I suspect. | |
