Open Letter to the Members of ASH

The webpage of journal of the American Society of Hematology (ASH), Blood, includes a letter entitled: An Open Letter to the Members of ASH: Your Membership Dues, Blood, and Open Access to the Scientific Literature. This rather lengthy defense of the journal's current policies (such as free access after 12 months to PDFs, beginning in the 1990s) ends with a link to the Washington DC Principles for Free Access to Science.
