On the list of publishers at:
http://romeo.eprints.org/publishers.html
is it the case that any publisher that is green is also pale-green?
Just a fine point.
Thanks
[Reply: Not necessarily, but it does not matter much. Open Access
is about postprints, so if a journal is postprint green, it's
as green as it needs to be, and as green as 100% OA needs it to
be. The unrefereed preprint is an added bonus to OA. All authors
may self-archived their pre-refereeing preprints without needing
the green light from anyone. But it is always more encouraging to
an author if the publisher endorses preprint self-archiving too.
