<font size="+1"><font face="Times New Roman, Times, serif">In the
United States, academic publishing is not financed by public
money except in cases where the press hosting the journal is in
a public university and even then, very little of the press's
finances are coming from "the public." Academic publishing is
paid for through subscriptions, which are owned either by
individuals or more often by universities. Perhaps this basic
difference in academic publishing is the reason U.S. scholars
don't understand European methods of making scholarship
available.<br>
