Don\'t be naive. The publishers will bill the federal government, the taxpayer, for the accesses.

You think the government can order a for profit business to start giving stuff away??? They have costs to cover too. The publishers were in on the policy inception at OSTP. That means they will be reimbursed.

Any kind of lying propaganda needs to be killed off before it gets published anywhere where it might look as if had some kind of scientific authority.

The catch is that if the publisher can\'t charge people to look at the article , they have to charge the authors to cover the cost of putting the article where it can be read.

Grant funded researchers can get the publication cost from the grant-giver, if the grant-giver is feeling generous.

Nothing new there; page charges.

> Grant funded researchers can get the publication cost from the grant-giver, if the grant-giver is feeling generous.

The other alternative, is to host electronic copies on an open archive, like NTIS (US national technical
information service, hosts lots of reprints and reports). That\'d require NTIS to get a bit bigger,
it\'s a relatively small agency (circa 100 people).

Publication online by a commercial publisher is a volatile resource, not as stable as bound journals
in dozens of interlinked libraries. I\'ve heard, though, that even a US patent can be hard to locate.
Does anyone remember an anecdote about a synthetic fuel patent that was
systematically stolen from multiple US libraries, around early WWII?

Anybody can put their work on some server for free.
No magazines needed,
Sites linking to it live from advertising, like google, sciencedaily, many others.
It sucks if such a link ends in a request for 30$ or so,
The time for magazines like ELsevier has long past, I no longer subscribe to any...
As to peer review, in some cases it hinders progress, Einstein parroting comes to mind.
The peer check should already have happened at the University anyways.

And you get \"work\" from people like a a.

Peer-reviewed journals are worth reading to the extent that the peer-review process excludes rubbish. It\'s not completely reliable but it works tolerably well.

> No magazines needed,

Not magazines but scientific journals. The peer-reviewed literature rejects rubbish, which is what makes scientific journals useful - if still imperfect - sources of information.

Sites linking to it live from advertising, like google, sciencedaily, many others.
It sucks if such a link ends in a request for 30$ or so,

As if you ever did.

> As to peer review, in some cases it hinders progress, Einstein parroting comes to mind.

Peer review isn\'t perfect - it is carried out by human beings, and they don\'t get paid for it. I haven\'t done much of it, and most of what I reviewed was easy to reject. Not that the editors always accepted my rejections.

> The peer check should already have happened at the University anyways.

How? I\'ve got some thirteen publication - most of them short comments, pointing out that peer review hadn\'t worked as well as it should have done - and only one was written when I was working at a university, and it had nothing to do with the work I was doing at that university.

All professional publications I have delt with, like the IEEE, ALREADY charge the authors the cost of publishing their papers.

Not that Gnatguy can provide a list of these publications. As Tom Sims he might be able to, but what Google scholar came up with for that name didn\'t have much to do with aviation

https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?hl=en&as_sdt=0%2C5&q=%22a+w+sloman%22&oq
lists a bunch of mine, and I\'ve never paid any page charges.
