  4. Authorswant it!!!

  5. And it is theleast costlysystem

  6. Library Florida Entomologist Issues Reprints User Traditional dissemination User Files onpublisher’scomputer FTP User Electronic dissemination Web server

  8. Electronic onlyfor feeorfor free?

  12. Two entomological societies FES: 450 members 1 journal (4 issues/year) $55,000/yr publishing costs ESA: 5700 members 4 journals (each 6 issues/year) $700,000/yr publishing costs

  13. ISI Journal Citation Reports 62 entomology journals Florida Entomologist30 J. Economic Entomology12 Environmental Entomology 17 Annals Entomol. Soc. Am.20 J. Medical Entomology12

  14. FloridaEntomological Society 100%OA since 1994

  15. Just do it!

  16. “Any scientist who is linked to the developing worldwide electronic information network (presently termed the Internet) will be able to view and to print any article in any journal published by a scientific society. Printing from the network will yield hardcopy equal to a photocopy or reprint of the article. The information will be free to the person taking the information from the network (as it is when a person takes information from a library).” Endorsement of open access by the Executive Committee of the Florida Entomological Society10 May 1993

  31. Entomological Society of America currently ca. 65% OA

  32. Open access by the article

  33. Entomological Society of America • 1995 GB approves OA sales

  34. Entomological Society of America • 1995 GB approves OA sales • 1996 GB approves OA sales again • 1997 GB cancels approval • 1998 GB votes to start toll access • 1999 GB approves OA sales yet again • 2000 OA sales begin!

  42. Why ASLO increased its price of OA from $126 to $350 in 2004 • Two-thirds of authors were buying open access. • Downloads were much more frequent for OA articles than for non-OA articles. e.g., 2002 articles: 3.4 times as many downloads
