Opening Access to Research
许多学术期刊收费高昂且排斥公众，开放获取政策可缓解此问题，但可能带来出版费用或仅提供低版本文章，影响作者发表意愿。
Many scholarly journals charge high prices to libraries, exclude the wider public altogether, and generate excessive profits. Open access regulation can mitigate these problems when authors are required to publish in journals which offer free and immediate access by readers, or make freely available a substitute to the published article. The former policy is likely to lead to publication fees, making authors less inclined to publish and less willing to publish in selective journals. The latter policy makes available only an inferior version of the published article but may be consistent with authors publishing for free.
