[GOAL] Re: "Public (Library) Access": A Predictable Publish Sop/Swap for Open Access

[Andrew A. Adams]

I'm a subcriber and occasional columnist for the THE and I've found their OA 
coverage to be almost universally poor. Most of the feature articles are 
written by people who oppose OA for some reason (either publisher [including 
scholarly assocition] representatives mroe concerned with their publishing 
profits [surpluses] than academic communication; or academics who've not 
properly looked at the proposals and who conflate OA with removing peer 
review, or with Author-pays Gold OA only). Their staff articles are usually 
just as wrong-headed.
