From the 21 eprints deposited yesterday in Zurich's IR ZORA only one
Status: O
Message-ID: <dummy4953792003_at_invented.ecs.soton.ac.uk>
is free available as full text: an article from a BMC = OA journal.
Journal articles from 2003 are'nt avaliable as full text although
there isn't any embargo. See
http://archiv.twoday.net/stories/5815961/
If scholars can choose between depositing a postprint file as free
full text and depositing publisher's PDF plus request-button most will
choose the second option. The reason is simple: the PDF can be cited
and the request-button allows to know who is using the article.
Therefore the request-button is evil regarding Open Access.
