I have to agree 100% with Dan Hunter here, rather than with my institutional colleague and friend, Steve Hitchcock: Open access is *not* about individual authors somehow having to "fix" their copyright agreements with their publishers. If that were the only road, or the main road to open access, I

The law professor gets it. The (untenured) law professor just doesn't have the bargaining position to negotiate a change in the contract when the elite journals (that I rely on to get tenure) have explicitly said that they won't negotiate contract terms and that if I don't like it I can piss else

Dan Hunter may be "merely asking the California Law Review to become 'green', which is to formally support author self-archiving", but if so perhaps it could be put more succinctly and more practically. As it stands, there seem to be some obvious faults in the argument. First Dan Hunter says > In

I don't think you are correct. I suspect most law reviews are extremely reluctant to permit self-archiving, as many want the articles that have been submitted to pre-print services withdrawn before the reviews will accept them. (6) I suspect, though, that the California Law Review may be in a mi
