Open Access

Open Access is an international effort among authors of scholarly papers to permit their works to be freely disseminated on the Internet. Open Access journals are still the exception rather than the rule. Authors submitting papers reporting results of often publicly-funded research to regular commercial (for profit) journals typically do so without remuneration (often in fact paying steep page charges to the more prestigious journals) in order to inform other scholars and interested persons world wide of their research results. Internet dissemination offers to greatly enhance the spread and usefulness of the research. Copyright assignment and excessive journal greed stand in the way of this goal. See Serial Wars by Lee Orsdel and Kathleen Born in Library Journal 4/15/07; also se Internet paper posting plea by D. J. Bernstein (U. Chicago) and for some of the unscrupulous power-tactics of even well-respected scientific societies, see e.g. the IEEE journal boycott web site. The latter site notes Springer's acceptance of public domain documents.
