I've signed several contracts saying I won't make my work
available to the public online. Also, none of the journals I
most often use via Project Muse have open access. There would
have to be a sea change in American publishing practices for
everyone in the US to agree that open access is the best
method. I do agree in principle that people should have access
to what is published, but I also see that publishers and presses
need to make money somehow, and so far, in the U.S., subscription-based
access is the only way they can.<br>

<div>I believe you could argue <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="http://academia.edu">academia.edu</a> exists for
this purpose. Also, many publishers have begun to include
self-archiving as an explicitly permitted activity (using
the pre-press, pre-edited copy only), and in my experience
OUP now includes this in their contracts for journal content
after an embargo period (one year).<br>
<br>
</div>
That said, other publishers actively pursue legal action
against their own authors who self-archive, and I've also seen
contracts for periodicals that expressly prohibit it or
require copyright be assigned to the publisher.<br>
<br>

But I think I'll go back to lurking on the listserv now...<br>

In the Open Access debate, I am surprised that there
doesn't seem to be more awareness of the solution to
these problems of academic publishing proposed by
Steven Harnad almost twenty years ago. He argues
very persuasively that academics should simply
self-archive their research on line. The basics of
these proposals (and the demolition of objections to
them) are reviewed here: </span></p>
