Abstract

Unlike the authors of books and magazine articles, who write their texts for royalty or fee income, the authors of refereed journal
articles write them only for "research impact", which means for their effects on research and researchers. In order to reach
researchers and to have an effect on their research (so the latter can use the findings in their own work), these refereed journal
articles have to be accessible to their potential users. Hence, the idea that access to them should be toll-gated in any way makes
as much sense as toll-gated access to commercial advertisements.
