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.
