      Dear Imre: It is true researchers do transfer copyright of
      their works to publishers for wider distribution but they do
      this knowing full well the works will be peer-reviewed and
      included in Journals which are respected in the STM
      community. This is done becaue the researchers know it will
      benefit them.

      �

      If one were to go out and establish their own journals using
      today's technology, they could do that too. But, there are
      "journals" and there are "JOURNALS." Publishers provide a
      necessary service to their readers and to the researchers who
      wish to be�known among their own research community...Eamon
