I will make the request . . . But out of the lack of progress on the issue of
getting wider dissemination of Rogerian work . . . I feel, I and (we), need to
find other options but to make the work more accessible. . .

Howard, You certainly have the right to do what you are doing with your own
articles, but it would be nice if you would request permission from SRS due to
the copyright issue. The request should go to the Visions editors, who can then
forward the request to the SRS board; or you can make the request directly to
the board, via our new president, Fran Biley. Best regards, Jacqui

Yes . . in a similar way . . . I have been saying for some time that we should
place back issues of Visions on the web to people can have access to them.
Copyright or not . . . I have now decided to do this myself with my own Vision
articles. I have been converting all the articles I've written to pdf files and
I am going to put them on my web site. I am sure that this may be a violation,
but right now, I really don't care. It is prartically useless to keep writing
articles when so few people actually have access to the Journal. I don't think
putting back issues on the web will effect our membership.

I know we have had the discussion before - and may not resolve it in a
forward thinking direction now - but i think the trend is definitely
moving against inertia in this regard. Here is a link to a story about
open access journals from BioMed Central a large publisher of online,
open access journals.

Here is the BioMed Central description of Open Access publishing:

"BioMed Central Open Access Charter

Every peer-reviewed research article appearing in any journal
published by BioMed Central is 'open access', meaning that:

1. The article is universally and freely accessible via the
Internet, in an easily readable format and deposited immediately upon
publication, without embargo, in an agreed format - current preference
is XML with a declared DTD - in at least one widely and
internationally recognized open access repository (such as PubMed
Central).

2. The author(s) or copyright owner(s) irrevocably grant(s) to any
third party, in advance and in perpetuity, the right to use, reproduce
or disseminate the research article in its entirety or in part, in any
format or medium, provided that no substantive errors are introduced
in the process, proper attribution of authorship and correct citation
details are given, and that the bibliographic details are not changed.
If the article is reproduced or disseminated in part, this must be
clearly and unequivocally indicated.

BioMed Central is committed permanently to maintaining this open
access publishing policy, retrospectively and prospectively, in all
eventualities, including any future changes in ownership.

BioMed Central has established an independent Board of Trustees. If
and when a change of ownership should be considered, the Board of
Trustees will be asked to judge and advise whether sufficient
guarantees to continue a policy of unconditional open access for
research articles are being offered and agreed by any prospective new
owner. BioMed Central will not enter into a change of ownership
agreement unless the Board of Trustees accepts these guarantees.

Any change in the composition of the Board of Trustees will be subject
to approval by a majority of the existing members of the Board of
Trustees.

The Board of Trustees consists of the following members:

Brian Haynes, McMaster University, Canada
Steven Hyman, Harvard University, USA
Marc Kirschner, Harvard Medical School, USA
Philippe Kourilsky, Institut Pasteur, France
David Nathan, Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, USA
Sir Paul Nurse, Cancer Research, UK
Sir Richard Peto, University of Oxford, UK
Harold Varmus, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, USA
Mitsuhiro Yanagida, Kyoto University, Japan"
