Reed allows academics free web access
~ 200,000 articles may be available on the net but competitors accuse
~ publisher of making token effort
~ Reed Elsevier is allowing academics to put papers that have been
~ accepted for publication in its print and online journals on to the
~ internet, breaking with years of tradition and reigniting the debate
~ over open access to academic thinking.
~ Until now the world's largest academic publisher has been a staunch
~ opponent of open access, saying it poses a threat to the quality of
~ academic research.
~ But it is now letting academics put a text version of their accepted
~ articles on to their own websites, or sites operated by their
~ institutions.
~ The move could make the 200,000 articles Reed Elsevier publishes every
~ year freely available on the internet.
