implementation decision or timeline

feature requests are all openly shared

19. Open Data

21. Free, immediate, permanent
online access to the full text
of research articles for
anyone, webwide.
There are two roads to OA:
Open Access 1. the "golden road" of OA journal-publishing ,
where journals provide OA to their articles
(either by charging the author-institution for
refereeing/publishing outgoing articles instead
of charging the user-institution for accessing
incoming articles, or by simply making their
online edition free for all)
2. the "green road" of OA self-archiving, where
authors provide OA to their own published
articles, by making their own eprints free for
all.
