I don't want free online access: I want free online access with re-use rights!

Amsciforum 2013-12-22

Summary:

But we don't even have free online access yet... 

But free online access is part of free online access with re-use rights... 

But free online access is already within immediate reach and free online access with re-use rights is not... 

But free online access will pave the way for free online access with re-use rights... 

But re-use rights to only a fragment of the research in a field are near-useless... 

But publishers allowing authors to provide free online access and re-use rights can immediately be undercut by free-riding rival publishers; publishers allowing authors to provide free online access alone cannot... 

But publishers will sooner allow authors to provide free online access than allow them to provide free online access with re-use rights… 

But institutions and funders can sooner mandate free online access than free online access with re-use rights… 

But all non-subscribing users need free online access; not all or even most or many users need re-use rights... 

But all authors already want all non-subscribing users to have immediate free online access; not all or even most or many authors know or care about re-use rights yet... 

But free online access is better, even if free online access with re-use rights is best... I don't want the better: I want the best! 

But the better is already within reach and the best is not... I don't want the better: I want the best!
