As of 4/17/06, HighWire Press is hosting 1,337,548 free full-text
articles, see http://highwire.stanford.edu/lists/freeart.dtl
If the HighWire journal publishers agreed on a common icon to
indicate free full-text, that would probably be helpful to
librarians.

Why is there a need to post a list of OA articles in our
journals? All one has to do is go to the TOC for the journal
and one sees an open tag (or "lock") on articles that are open
and free for reading. APS does that for articles for which the
author has paid an OA fee. Should we also do this for articles
that become free after an embargo period? Should we post a
list of those articles somewhere other than in the journal's
TOC? I am proud of how we function as a publisher, providing
access in a timely manner, facilitating the needs of patients
to access content, and encouraging the development of the
scientific enterprise in developing countries through
collaboration with Hinari and Agora.
