Z More open-access peer-reviewed journals are popping up in every field Even though a growing number of journals like BMJ and Cortex offer FOS without halfmeasures or experiments, these experiments by Elsevier and Nature are promising They show a recognition that scientists and scholars are demanding open access and that this demand is legitimate and increasingly realistic. It endorses "parallel processing" or multiple strategies It supports self-archiving and the launch of new open-access journals, two compatible and complementary approaches that have too often been pursued in isolation from one another. It applies to all academic fields, not just to the sciences.
