>Except to the degree that it raises barriers to publication for >authors -- which, of course, it does. Except, of course, where there are no author fees (in the case of over half of the journals listed in the DOAJ), or where the authors fees can be waived (BMC, PLoS, etc.). (Incidentally, I always find it intriguing that open access publication fees are described as barriers to publication, but we rarely hear the same being said of page charges, colour figure charges, etc. for publication-based journals.)

Except to the degree that it raises barriers to publication for authors -- which, of course, it does. (Granted, it also lowers barriers to access for readers, though it also imposes significant costs elsewhere which I think have been fairly thoroughly discussed here.) --- Rick Anderson Dir. of Resource Acquisition University of Nevada, Reno Libraries rickand@unr.edu
