I don't want free online access: I want free online access with re-use rights!
"I don't want free online access: I want free online access with re-use rights!But we don't even have free online access yet..."I don't want free online access: I want free online access with re-use rights!"
But free online access is part of free online access with re-use rights..."I don't want free online access: I want free online access with re-use rights!"
But free online access is already within immediate reach and free online access with re-use rights is not..."I don't want free online access: I want free online access with re-use rights!"
But free online access today will pave the way for free online access with re-use rights tomorrow..."I don't want free online access: I want free online access with re-use rights!"
But re-use rights to only a fragment of the research in a field are near-useless..."I don't want free online access: I want free online access with re-use rights!"
But publishers allowing authors to provide free online access and re-use rights can immediately be undercut by free-riding rival publishers; publishers allowing authors to provide free online access alone cannot..."I don't want free online access: I want free online access with re-use rights!"
But publishers will sooner allow authors to provide free online access than allow them to provide free online access with re-use rights…"I don't want free online access: I want free online access with re-use rights!"
But institutions and funders can sooner mandate free online access than free online access with re-use rights…"I don't want free online access: I want free online access with re-use rights!"
But all non-subscribing users need free online access; not all or even most or many users need re-use rights..."I don't want free online access: I want free online access with re-use rights!"
But all authors already want all non-subscribing users to have immediate free online access; not all or even most or many authors know or care about re-use rights yet..."I don't want free online access: I want free online access with re-use rights!"
But free online access with re-use rights today entails paying publishers even more, over and above uncancellable subscriptions, out of scarce research funds, whereas free online access entails no extra cost..."I don't want free online access: I want free online access with re-use rights!"
But free online access is better, even if free online access with re-use rights is best..."I don't want the better: I want the best!"
But the better will pave the way for the best..."I don't want the better: I want the best!"
But the better is already within reach and the best is not: why not grasp it?"I don't want the better: I want the best!"

The American Scientist Open Access Forum has been chronicling and often directing the course of progress in providing Open Access to Universities' Peer-Reviewed Research Articles since its inception in the US in 1998 by the American Scientist, published by the Sigma Xi Society.
The American Scientist Open Access Forum has been chronicling and often directing the course of progress in providing Open Access to Universities' Peer-Reviewed Research Articles since its inception in the US in 1998 by the American Scientist, published by the Sigma Xi Society.
The Forum is largely for policy-makers at universities, research institutions and research funding agencies worldwide who are interested in institutional Open Acess Provision policy. (It is not a general discussion group for serials, pricing or publishing issues: it is specifically focussed on institutional Open Acess policy.)
