It's as important to the journal publisher as to the author and 
reader that journal ref. data and link to publisher version are 
added, particularly to those papers archived prior to these data 
being known. This information is often a condition of a publisher's 
green light to self-archiving and, dare I say it, will inform release 
from embargoes too.

Prof. Wigan is probably right to note that not many authors will add 
this information. For many records in arXiv this is done by 
SLAC-SPIRES. So we need a system to help IRs too. First would be an 
alert from the publisher to the author and repository manager when a 
paper is published. This could be in some tagged form to be agreed, 
to enable the data to be added easily to the repository record.

To simplify the system for doing this, perhaps a broad bibliographic 
agency such as CrossRef could provide the data to repositories on 
behalf of publishers. I recall a meeting with senior representatives 
from CrossRef some years ago when the idea was favourably received. 
In view of the mandates requiring OA to published papers, and the 
shared interests in linking up the different versions effectively, 
perhaps now would be a good time to re-visit this approach.
