Hi, Anali, that still doesn't answer my question of "how does one
know which version?" "OA version" isn't exactly an answer, or at
least not what I was wondering. Assuming that what is pointed to is
definitely legal, what I meant is, how does one know if this is a
final final published version, an e-print version, an author's
manuscript version, etc. Cheers, Ann Okerson
