Intro to OA for mainstream German readers

Gerd Hansen, Archiviere dich selbst: Der Zugang zu Wissen muss kostenlos sein, sagt die Open Access Bewegung. Aber wie soll das gehen? Der Tagesspiegel, February 24, 2005. Summarizing some of the discussion at the Cologne Summit on Open Access Publishing (Cologne, December 7-8, 2004). Generally a good introduction to OA archiving and OA jounals --with the exception that it uncritically raises the old objection that OA journals might compromise on peer review and seems unaware that the objection has been answered. (Thanks to Klaus Graf.)
