The headline writers put 'open access' in scare quotes, but CRLFthe author provided a good overview stating most strongly CRLFthe case in favour: "...Brain Research, which costs more CRLFthan $21,000 for 2004; Biochimica et Biophysica Acta, which CRLFcosts nearly $15,000; and Nuclear Physics A and B, at more CRLFthan $23,000." She also outlines the counter-argument CRLFoffered by academic societies, whic depend on publication CRLFincome, and responses from the publishers minimizing the CRLFimpact of open access publishing.
