@article{citeulike:72145, abstract = {The research access/impact problem arises because journal articles are not accessible to all of their would-be users; hence, they are losing potential research impact. The solution is to make all articles Open Access (OA; i.e., accessible online, free for all). OA articles have significantly higher citation impact than non-OA articles. There are two roads to OA: the "golden" road (publish your article in an OA journal) and the "green" road (publish your article in a non-OA journal but also self-archive it in an OA archive). Only 5% of journals are gold, but over 90% are already green (i.e., they have given their authors the green light to self-archive); yet only about 10-20% of articles have been self-archived. To reach 100% OA, self-archiving needs to be mandated by researchers' employers and funders, as the United Kingdom and the United States have recently recommended, and universities need to implement that mandate.}, added-at = {2007-11-22T22:36:33.000+0100}, author = {Harnad, Stevan and Brody, Tim and Vallieres, Francois and Carr, Les and Hitchcock, Steve and Gingras, Yves and Oppenheim, Charles and Stamerjohanns, Heinrich and Hilf, Eberhard R.}, biburl = {http://www.bibsonomy.org/bibtex/2b795701a259a92bba29f7f564f60082b/amarois}, citeulike-article-id = {72145}, doi = {10.1016/j.serrev.2004.09.013}, interhash = {3be4829b700f743c15333f75be8641ff}, intrahash = {b795701a259a92bba29f7f564f60082b}, journal = {Serials Review}, keywords = {openaccess}, number = 4, pages = {310--314}, priority = {2}, timestamp = {2007-11-22T22:36:33.000+0100}, title = {The Access/Impact Problem and the Green and Gold Roads to Open Access}, url = {http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/j.serrev.2004.09.013}, volume = 30, year = 2004 }
