--- abstract: 'A critique of the CERN proposal to convert particle physics journals from the user-institution-pays subscription model to an author-institution-pays model for the sake of Open Access (OA). OA can be achieved via author-institution self-archiving ("Green OA"); it does not require converting journals to OA publishing ("Gold OA"), which is likely to cost some researchers more at this time.' altloc: - http://physicsweb.org/articles/world/20/3 chapter: ~ commentary: ~ commref: 'Voss, Rudiger (2007) The Open Access Debate.
