A number of us feel strongly that fee-free BOAI-compliant scholarly publishing is possible and have started a discussion on the OKFN open-access list http://lists.okfn.org/mailman/listinfo/open-access. Initial mail from Jonathan Gray:
>>Hi all, >>I'm forwarding a very interesting recent thread about fee-free scholarly publishing started by Peter Murray-Rust with Laurent [Romary] from INRIA [1], Richard Poynder, Peter Suber, Jenny Molloy, Tom Olijhoek, Ross Mounce and several other OKFN folks. >>Peter Murray-Rust's original email to Laurent is at the bottom, as well as some of the subsequent correspondence with Laurent, Richard Poynder and Peter Suber. >>Basically the discussion is about how we can better document and support 'fee-free' open access journals - which might include case studies, a possible 'fee-free' OA handbook, publicity and community building activities, and building a better 'best practises network' with people and organisations who have done it. >>We all agreed that -[...] it would make [...] sense to open this discussion up to others on this list. -- Peter Murray-Rust Reader in Molecular Informatics Unilever Centre, Dep.
