From: Stevan Harnad <[log in to unmask]> >From: Joseph Esposito Harnad writes that "a minority [of publishers] want a one-year embargo." I doubt that that is true. Most publishers are trying to accommodate the needs and interests of funding agencies, society members, librarians, and the general public. I doubt very much that many publishers are happy with only a one-year embargo. Policies of this kind represent difficult compromises. Harnad: I didn't say they liked a 1-year embargo. Perhaps in place of "want," which is ambiguous, I should have said ""a minority [of publishers] demand a one-year embargo." The majority of publishers do not demand any embargo at all. (I don't doubt that among those that do, some would prefer a longer one…) Stevan Harnad
