Sehr gut möglich, dass man sich damals APCs nicht vorgestellt hat. Aber spätestens die Strategieempfehlungen machen mMn deutlich, dass jegliche Zugangsbeschränkungen und eine Abkehr von Profitorientierun gemeint sind. Insofern stimme ich Ihnen nicht zu, dass es sich um einen Nebenaspekt handelt. 1/3

Auszug aus der Erklärung der Budapest Open Access Initiative: "II. Open-access Journals: Second, scholars need the means to launch a new generation of journals committed to open access, and to help existing journals that elect to make the transition to open access. Because journal articles should be disseminated as widely as possible, these new journals will no longer invoke copyright to restrict access to and use of the material they publish. Instead they will use copyright and other tools to ensure permanent open access to all the articles they publish. Because price is a barrier to access, these new journals will not charge subscription or access fees, and will turn to other methods for covering their expenses. There are many alternative sources of funds for this purpose, including the foundations and governments that fund research, the universities and laboratories that employ researchers, endowments set up by discipline or institution, friends of the cause of open access, profits from the sale of add-ons to the basic texts, funds freed up by the demise or cancellation of journals charging traditional subscription or access fees, or even contributions from the researchers themselves. There is no need to favor one of these solutions over the others for all disciplines or nations, and no need to stop looking for other, creative alternatives."
