Walt Crawford, Electronic Access to Scientific Articles: Another Perspective, EContent, May 2002. A response to Martin White's publisher-oriented perspective from the December EContent.

Things are starting to give."

Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
