Re: Directory of Open Access Journals
Dear Sara & Lars:
How easily words can be misconstrued! I had suggested:
> 2.1 Cost: Journals that use a funding model that charges any users or
> their institutions for the online version are not included unless the
> online version is also accessible to all users toll-free (full-text,
> immediately, permanently, downloadable from the web by anyone, any

But of course it should instead be (see CAPS)
2.1 Cost: Journals that use a funding model that charges any users or
their institutions for the online version are not included unless the
online version is also OPENLY accessible to EVERYONE ON THE WEB
toll-free (full-text, immediately, permanently, downloadable from
the web by anyone, any time). Charging for a parallel print VERSION
is ALSO acceptable -- AS LONG AS IT IS NOT A PRECONDITION FOR ACCESS
TO THE OPEN-ACCESS ONLINE VERSION.
Wordier, alas, but I think at last conveys the real point.
