enterprise that rightfully was used for profit. We are living the end of an Era. A new way to share information . Computers and internet makes today ‘to publish and print” something very different. The researcher buy computer and software, work on research,
write and rewrite the document following editorial standards in order to create a scholarly paper ready to be publish, peer-reviewers are not paid for their works, (otherwise advise me because I have been doing this for free during the last 15 years), publication
and distribution by internet cost least…. etc. It is time to be focus in knowledge advancement, human development, a “flat world” where equality and justice is promoted and common good is a real value.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black">Sorry, I did not realize that "information" could taken outside the context of the Budapest Open Access Initiative in this BOAI-forum. I was talking about " to make research articles
in all academic fields freely available in the internet" (<a href="http://www.doaj.org">www.doaj.org</a>) . The point is FREELY AVAILABLE. Do not miss the point, the open access initiative must be faithful to its origin and spirit.
