Greg McConnell, Online journals seek alternatives to open access, American Academy of Pediatrics News, 25, 14 (2004). The text is accessible only to subscribers, so I can't summarize it.
Update. The article is now (7/2/04) OA at the same URL. Perhaps it was just embargoed for a day. Excerpt: "With Pediatrics' current business model, all electronic articles are freely available after a year and some are freely available immediately. Also, beginning this month, Pediatrics will experiment with allowing authors to decide if they want their article to be published online for free. If an author chooses this free option, the only 'cost' to the author will be that the article won't appear in the print journal." (PS: This is a new OA option. When other journals offer OA by the article, at the author's choice, they charge a processing fee. Pediatrics' has the plus of no fee and the minus of no publication in the print edition. Definitely worth watching.) |
