is
publication either way. In both cases, the article is being distributed
to the public (i.e., published) on an OA basis. In other words, to
mandate OA self-archiving is to mandate OA publishing -- by the author,
in cooperation with whoever manages the archive.

's all I'll say in this forum on that second topic. Stevan can feel
free to make a public rejoinder, but if I feel the need to respond
thereafter I'll do so privately.

on that is far
different from the artificially narrow one created by the OA establishment. If
using the Berlin Declaration definition helps you do your work, fine. But
don't yell at (or condescend to) the rest of the world when it insists on using
the real-world definition.

on to this problem would be to strip authors of the
right to choose how they distribute their articles. As we all know,
there are ongoing efforts in that direction -- but they're meeting with
mixed success so far.

or
new OA journals (especially those that depend on funding from authors)
to survive in the short term, they'll need to figure out a way quickly
to increase their ability to confer prestige on those they publish. How
can they do that -- and how can we help them do that? This seems to me
to be a
Serials Review that David Goodman mentioned in
his recent posting; my article in that issue treats the three areas that
I believe are going to pose problems (at least in the short term) for
new OA journals in an author-competitive marketplace.

inition is unnecessarily
restrictive. It seems to me that if what we want to do is make content
available to everyone, there's really no need to take away the author's
traditional rights under copyright law. The latter stance seems to me almost
like a conflation of "open
what have
traditionally been the copyright holder's exclusive rights.

And please don't reply that "it

listservs will resist Stevan's call to silence those stakeholders who fail to
support unreservedly and uncriticially the one model that he favors. A policy
of prior restraint doesn't strike me as terribly consistent wi
l decisions (notably journal cancellations),
it would seem that this discussion fits nicely through the filter — even if the
discussion doesn't tend toward the particular conclusion one prefers.

es. Publishers are not
stupid — they don't think that just because one librarian says "I'm more likely
to cancel a Green-without-embargoes journal than a toll-access one, all other
things being equal" that every library is going to do the same thing.

current field of Green journals for likely cancellation

approach that will return good value for cost. And if we can'

e caution is by insisting that such mandates include
powerful escape clauses, thus turning them into "mandates" rather than mandates.

—they are policies that require no deposit.
So my question remains: why the insistence on calling such policies "mandates"?
If they make no action mandatory, then why not simply call them policies?
(ROARAP is a less snappy acronym, I'll grant you.)

Thanks very much for this, Peter. I’m probably being dense, but I can’t see a
way to download the report. On the possibility that I’m not the only one
failing to see it, could you (or someone else more quick-witted/observant than
I) tell us how that can be done?
