During the transition phase arXiv will continue to be available through Los Alamos (at least that was the plan before the Nature article was published). In the decade since arXiv started, it has grown into a major clearinghouse for scientific research in physics, astronomy and other fields. It now holds 170,000 research papers and receives 2 million Internet visits per week, according to Ginsparg.
