'Scholars write articles to be read—the more access to their articles the better—so one might think that the open-access approach to publishing, in which articles are freely available online to all without interposition of an access fee, would be an attractive competitor to traditional subscription-based journal publishing.'

'The compact for open-access publishing equity supports equity of the business models by committing each university to "the timely establishment of durable mechanisms for underwriting reasonable publication charges for articles written by its faculty and published in fee-based open-access journals and for which other institutions would not be expected to provide funds."'

'The web is replete with projects to “digitize legacy content”—patent applications, books, photographs, everything. While photographs might survive well as JPEGs or TIFFs (disregarding accessibility issues for a moment), the bulk of this legacy content requires semantic markup for computers to understand it. A sheet of paper provides complete authorial freedom, but that freedom can translate poorly to the coarse semantics of HTML. The digitization craze—that’s what it is—crashes headlong into HTML semantics. '

'But what accounts for the increase in the proportion of scholarly journals now in the hands of the commercial publishers? One reason widely acknowledged is that commercial publishers have been better at innovation, identifying (and perhaps creating) new markets, and launching new titles. When higher education expanded quickly in the 1960s and 1970s and more money became available for research, it was mostly the commercial publishers, not the scholarly societies, that moved quickly to meet the new demand for publishing outlets. A second reason is that commercial publishers have actively encouraged the scholarly societies and other not-for-profit entities to relinquish their journals or at least enter into publishing contracts with them. Lacking the technical expertise, the capital, and the economies-of-scale of the commercial publishers, many scholarly societies and others have found such offers congenial, particularly as journal delivery began to move online.'

"On one side of the gap are those who say such research should be free to all, that it's too valuable to keep firmly planted in the walled gardens of the prestigious journals that publish it. And for research that's taxpayer-funded, the public that paid for it, at least, deserves access."
