ABOUT PAUL'S WORK
Paul Ginsparg is a theoretical physicist widely known for creating a computer-based system for physicists and other scientists to communicate their research results. Ginsparg's document server represents a conscious effort to reorganize scientific communications, establishing a marketplace of ideas of new submissions with minimal editorial oversight and abundant opportunity for commentary, supporting and opposing, from other investigators. Ginsparg circumvented traditional funding and approval mechanisms by developing the software in his spare time and running it on surplus equipment. This system (informally known as “the xxx archive,” currently hosted at Cornell University at http://arxiv.org) provides a new, interactive mechanism for scientific communications that complements, and in some respects supplants, more traditional paper publications. All documents are available without charge worldwide through the internet, making the latest results available even for those without access to a good research library. Ginsparg has deliberately transformed the way physics gets done—challenging conventional standards for review and communication of research and thereby changing the speed and mode of dissemination of scientific advances.

BIOGRAPHY
Paul Ginsparg received his A.B. (1977) from Harvard University and a Ph.D. (1981) from Cornell University. He was a Junior Fellow in the Harvard Society of Fellows (1981–1984) and a Sloan Foundation Fellow (1986–1990). Ginsparg served on the faculty of Harvard from 1984 to 1990 and on the research staff of the Los Alamos National Laboratory (1990–2001). In 2001, he accepted a faculty position at Cornell University in the Department of Physics and the Faculty of Computing and Information Science. In addition to launching the e-print archives, Ginsparg has published numerous papers in quantum field theory, string theory, conformal field theory, and quantum gravity. In 1998, he was awarded the Physics, Astronomy, and Math Award from the Special Libraries Association, and in 2000 he was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society.

关于保罗的工作
保罗-金斯帕格是一位理论物理学家，因创建一个基于计算机的系统供物理学家和其他科学家交流他们的研究成果而广为人知。金斯帕格的文件服务器代表了重新组织科学交流的有意识的努力，建立了一个新提交的想法的市场，有最小的编辑监督和大量的评论机会，支持和反对其他调查人员。金斯帕格利用业余时间开发软件并在剩余设备上运行，从而规避了传统的资金和审批机制。这个系统（非正式地称为 "xxx档案"，目前由康奈尔大学托管，网址是http://arxiv.org）为科学交流提供了一个新的互动机制，补充并在某些方面取代了更传统的纸质出版物。所有的文件都可以通过互联网在全世界范围内免费获得，使那些没有好的研究图书馆的人也能获得最新的成果。金斯帕格有意改变了物理学的工作方式--挑战了传统的研究审查和交流标准，从而改变了科学进步的传播速度和模式。

个人简历
Paul Ginsparg在哈佛大学获得学士学位（1977年），在康奈尔大学获得博士学位（1981年）。他是哈佛大学研究员协会的初级研究员（1981-1984）和斯隆基金会研究员（1986-1990）。金斯帕格于1984年至1990年在哈佛大学任教，并在洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室担任研究人员（1990-2001年）。2001年，他接受了康奈尔大学物理系和计算与信息科学学院的教职。除了启动电子版档案外，金斯帕格还在量子场论、弦理论、共形场论和量子引力方面发表了许多论文。1998年，他被授予特殊图书馆协会颁发的物理学、天文学和数学奖，2000年，他被选为美国物理学会会员。
