High Time To Start Getting Serious About Open Access

[David Wojick]

Actually it is just $10 per issue, Stevan (500 divided by 50), so pretty 
cheap. And while I am indeed just one individual, I pioneered the design of 
Federal regulatory programs like the US Public Access program. See 
http://davidwojick.blogspot.com/2014/03/engineer-tackles-regulatory-confusion.html. 
I even have a diagnostic system of 126 kinds of confusion in such programs, 
which is freely available at 
http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/2013/02/05/a-taxonomy-of-confusions/. 
For that matter I have 30 Scholarly Kitchen articles, most of which are 
about the US Public Access program, freely available at 
http://scholarlykitchen.sspnet.org/author/dwojick/, if people want to 
sample my expertise. But the research costs money so I have to use a 
subscription model. As the saying goes, somebody has to pay for the work.

Public Access is going to be a massive and complex program. One can get the 
flavor of the emerging complexity from the new CHORUS Implementation Guide. 
See http://chorusaccess.org/chorus-publisher-implementation-guide/. In fact 
I will analyze this Guide for confusions in this week's issue of Inside 
Public Access.
