Last week OEN reported that five major U.S. majorities officially announced support for open access. The Law Librarian Blog has posted a critique. From the post:
While authors may choose which journal they submit articles to, it is the publishers who choose which articles to publish. What happens when a subscription-based journal rejects an article and the author’s institution cannot or refuses to write a processing fee check for an open access journal that is willing to publish it but for lack of payment? Will it be up to the author to use his or her own funds?
