Stevan Harnad, Asymptotic Costs of Gold Open Access Journal Publication, Open Access Archivangelism, May 3, 2007.
Comment. Martin Osborne is right that his journal's fee is lower than the going rate and he deserves credit for keeping it low. It's a good example for other journals and I hope it will spread. Stevan is right that we shouldn't wait for it to spread, or we should self-archive while we wait. But I suspect that Martin Osborne agrees with that as well. I'd simply like to make explicit, and remember, that the case for OA archiving is compatible with praise and support for OA journals. |
