Dear Emily Commander,
Thank you very much for your response and UK Parliament interest in my
communication. I will compile the documents to conform the written
evidence standard, although all my sources are open materials freely
available on the web.
As a follow up I would like to share with you my two latest posting at the
SPARC Open Access Forum.
Item 2
---------
The second matter I urge you not to miss in your inquiry is a misleading
definition (including the definition by Open Access major proponents and
opponents) that "Open Access publishing model" equals "charging the author
or institution". I argue that "Open access" does not necessarily mean
"charging the author or institution" in my second series of recent posts,
including the one entitled " "Open access" is NOT "charging the author or
institution" "
(<
https://arl.org/Lists/SPARC-OAForum/Message/380.html>SPARC-OAForum Dec
26, 2003 Message 1) and "Open access development: alternatives for
"charging the author""
(<

26, 2003 Message 2).
Sincerely,
Alexei Koudinov, MD, PhD
