Onze malentendus sur le libre accès | Le comptoir de l'accès ouvert

[From Google's English] "In his book Open Access , Peter Suber comes from the introduction of that open access is not. Eleven to dispel misunderstandings and return regularly in conversations on the subject.

Small passage browse freely inspired introductory chapter:

1. Open access is by no means a way to circumvent the peer review. Instead, it generally allows a strengthening of the latter since author can distribute a first draft article before submission to a journal. It offers critical of his colleagues before a future return evaluation.
