*  FEW OF THE 30,000 SCIENTISTS who pledged to boycott journals
   that don't make their content free online after six months
   have actually followed through on that threat, and few
   journals have changed their ways. Now the boycott's leaders
   are planning a new tactic -- starting their own journals so
   scientists have a viable alternative to traditional
   publishers.
