[Vwoolf] R: Open Access

[Roy]

  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:

  Further arguments in favour of electronic publishing were advanced only a few years later, and are reviewed here:

  And for a ground level view of some of the basic Open Source Research issues, see here:
