RE: Q 1. on OA

[Anna Creech <CreechA@cwu.EDU>]

"If money were freely available from whatever sources, is there any
argument against OA?"

Money is at the core of the debate over Open Access publication.  Money
is the root of the crisis in scholarly communication.  Take away that
factor and your argument has no value.

We haven't found the perfect solution that provides excellent peer
review, editing, and content at a price that everyone can afford.  Open
Access is one solution suggested, but it still comes down to the problem
of the high cost of scholarly publishing and who will pay for it in the
end.
