It's back. .
The Federal Research Public Access Act of 2006 is back. Some of you may remember this was a bill one, if not two years ago. It requires authors to place their work on a free, publicly available website 6 months after initial publication in a journal. Academic publishers are mad. Their business model is currently built on metering access. What if the business model were based on something else -- indexing? providing "related" work? tracking citations? Many choices, but this industry has had a hard time adapting to changing times, since times are always changing! Watch & see.
