[GOAL] Re: "Let them pay or let them wait"

[Guédon Jean-Claude]

Hear! Hear!

Alicia Wise always speaks with a forked tongue! I wonder how much she is paid to practise this dubious art.

Self-archiving as described by Stevan is the right way to go.

Happy holidays to all those exploited by Elsevier!

Jean-Claude Guédon

Hi Thomas -

All our authors, no matter where in the world they are, have both gold and green Open Access publishing options.

With best wishes for a peaceful and relaxing holiday season,

Translation of Alicia’s Xmas message:

"Let them pay (gold fees) or let them wait (green embargoes)."

I add only that they can (if they have any sense at all) completely ignore all of Elsevier’s absurd, incoherent, and ever-changing double-talk<http://openaccess.eprints.org/index.php?serendipity%5Baction%5D=search&serendipity%5BsearchTerm%5D=systematic&serendipity%5BsearchButton%5D=%3E> about green and make their refereed, revised final drafts green OA immediately upon acceptance for  publication -- by self-archiving them.

With best wishes for a peaceful and relaxing holiday season,

Stevan

On this post,

http://www.scidev.net/global/publishing/news/elsevier-african-open-access-journal.html,

Elsevier plans an African Open Journals, using the Gold voice. But for me, it is not the right way for us (Africa).

I want all GOAL members to join me in an open letter adressed to Elsevier, with the objective to claim the full green voice for Africa.

Since I am an African searcher, your support will be helpful
