Britain decides ‘open access’ is still an open issue

Abstract

Can journals function if authors, instead of readers, carry the cost of publication?

After five months of investigating access to journals in science, technology and medicine, the committee has reported that the concept of ‘author-pays’ open access seems “viable” but requires “further experimentation”.
