MacKenzie Paper
RichH said:
"There is NO publication date on the MacKenzie paper - submitted but is accompanied by NO publish date ... pretty important in scientific circles."
The Strathprint pdf has been made available free of charge under arrangements recently made by many universities with most of the scientific publishing companies. It is one edit short of the very pricey publisher version. The watermark states clearly that the manuscript has been accepted (i.e., peer reviewed and, if necessary, amended to the satisfaction of the reviewers and the scientific editor).
A fairly obvious link from:-
http://strathprints.strath.ac.uk/5670/ takes you to:-
http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.oceaneng.2007.07.004
which is the relevant section in the research journal, Ocean Engineering, fully dated (2007)etc., and to the final printed version of the paper.
The front page of the Strathprint pdf states:
"This is an author-produced version of a paper published in Ocean Engineering, 35 (1). pp. 28-40. ISSN 0029-8018. This version has been peer-reviewed, but does not include the final publisher proof corrections, published layout, or pagination."
The second page of the pdf gives comprehensive information regarding publisher dates, journal pages, etc.
Compared to the Strathprint version, the publisher version has had no alterations of any substance. The final publisher version is available online and in print to subscribers only, and should be available in all good university libraries.
Almost all this information was present in the document but perhaps this will clear up any confusion.
