Since my informants are no longer at IOP, I can't give you chapter and
verse, but assure you I'm not making it up (and it was about subscriptions).
I recall a speaker at an ALPSP seminar telling us much the same story for
London Mathematical Society journals.

The perceived necessity for institutional and other mandates does, in a
sense, reflect a failing - that researchers simply do not see 'what is in it
for them' and therefore do not, by and large, deposit voluntarily. What

While Andrew Adams' letter makes some valid points, I would like to point
out that the number of articles per author has not changed over many years
(Tenopir and King have excellent data on this). Thus neither 'publish or

Actually a growing number (though still a minority) of publishers either
don't ask for copyright transfer, or - if the author demurs - will provide a
Licence to Publish document instead. John & Laura Cox, in their regular

I can't help thinking that only looking for positive evidence is not
very scientific.
Earlier this year I conducted a survey of members of UK learned

and less than half of those respondents knew what self-archiving

Forgive my impertinence, but I believe that most list participants would
much prefer to read other people's postings as they stand. You could
respond to them, as others do, in a separate message. You do not have an

Setting aside for the moment all arguments about who should do what with which
versions, it would be an excellent idea
As I understand it, many scholarly journals from less developed countries
are not financially viable through subscriptions and are, as a result,
heavily subsidized by their institutions and thus - ultimately - by their
governments. In these circumstances, a no-charge OA model makes a great
deal of
One of the advantages to everyone of the 'author-side payment' model of OA
publishing is that it will discourage 'salami-slicing' - getting more
articles than necessary out of a single piece of research
