Luisella Goldschmidt-Clermont (1925-2013) è nota per un articolo del 1965 sul preprint, forma di comunicazione scientifica già allora di fondamentale importanza all’interno della comunità dei fisici. L’articolo – Communication Patterns in High-Energy Physics – non venne pubblicato e rimase pertanto allo stato di preprint (e pressoché dimenticato) fino al 2002, quando fu pubblicato online. Dell’autrice oggi si apprezza la capacità critica e l’acume nell’analizzare una pratica di comunicazione interna alla comunità dei fisici che precorre il movimento dell’Open access. I gender studies e i cultural studies forniscono un’ulteriore chiave di lettura. Nelle trame del discorso emerge infatti la figura di Luisella come studiosa, donna, e soprattutto come autore che reclama riconoscimento e autorevolezza non solo per sé, ma anche per generi (il preprint) e per discipline (library and information studies) considerati minori. L’ "esperimento antropologico” di Luisella – l’osservazione della comunità dei fisici da un punto di vista ritenuto subordinato, quello del servizio bibliotecario – svela così ancora una volta le dinamiche tra i sessi e tra le "due culture".

Abstract
LuisellaGoldschmidt-Clermont(1925-2013)is known for her article – CommunicationPatterns inHigh-Energy Physics (1965) – focused on the practice and circulation of preprint papers among the physicists’community. The article was never published by the scientific journal to which it had been submitted, thus remaining a preprint itself – an emblematic rather than significant coincidence. It was almost doomed to oblivion until its online publication in 2002, when it was acknowledged as a groundbreaking study of what, a few decades later, was going to become the highly sophisticated open access scholarly communication system. Cultural and gender studies now help us to better understand this “preprint on preprint” taking into consideration Luisella’s life as a whole (a librarian, a scholar, a wife, a woman), thus revealing her author status: an author claiming for equality.
