  be made
• when the publication has been accepted by the
  journal.

• - Institutions in The Third World, where SLU
  already has collaborative projects, can take
  part of the scientific results made at SLU.
• - Opportunity to communicate direct to research
  politicians, administrators and experts within
  departments and authorities.
• - Savings in terms of reduced print costs.
• - Publications from SLU will be collected in a
  comprehensive archive.
