: (5) (30)

(5 5 = 25 )
More recently, the debate about the role of subject based repositories and
journals has taken on a new life as a result of a report on Citing and Reading

D-59-11

26

Behaviours in High Energy Physics. This report raises a number of questions, for
example, is there an advantage for scientists to make their work available through
repositories, often in preliminary form ? Is there an advantage publishing in open
access journals ? Do scientists still read journals or do they use digital repositories ?
According to the authors, two roads to open access include the Golden Road (open
access journals) and the Green Road (open access archives). There is a distinction to
be made between free access (removal of price barriers) and open access
(removal of both price and permission barriers).
Those who favour the Golden Road to open access (via open access journals) prefer a
minimum of permission barriers, so that text and data mining of a complete
collection of the openly accessible research literature can be undertaken. Those who
favour the Green Road to open access (via open access archives) are willing to
tolerate more permission barriers, in order to increase the likelihood that publishers of
toll access journals will permit authors to self archive copies of published articles
in openly accessible archives. Thus these two complimentary high road strategies
for fostering open access may lead to different perspectives about permission barriers,
while sharing the same agreement on the need to remove price barriers. There is also
a low road (or Grey Road) strategy which involves self archiving on the surface
web on the authors own web site. This permits free access, but lacks a coherent
infrastructure for identification of the openly accessible research literature of the kind
that both of the high roads to open access are designed to provide. Nevertheless,
there is evidence that some of the more eminent researchers are creating their own
web sites and blogs which they use to communicate their latest ideas, views and
research results to the community.
