          Abstract

          None of the advantages of traditional scientific journals need be sacrificed in order to provide free online access to scientific journal articles. Objections that open access to scientific journal literature requires the sacrifice of peer-review, revenue, copyright protection, or other strengths of traditional journals, are based on misunderstandings.

          added an editorial note to Perspectives in Scholarly Publishing

          A must-read and almost historic paper in the field of Open Access. My favorite conclusion reads: "Objections that open access to scientific journal literature requires the sacrifice of peer-review, revenue, copyright protection, or other strengths of traditional journals, are based on misunderstandings." Oh yes, this is so true and for many years, brigades of anti-OA lobbyists have tried to adopt exactly these arguments to destroy the vision of Open Access.
