Category talk:Hybrid open access journals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unfortunately hybrid open access journals are not a class of open access journals, they are journals that are not open access except for a few articles. It would be more logical if other terminology were used, but it isnt. there is no commonly agreed term forthe general class, and the lists of open access journals very emphatically do not include hybrid open access journals. At the present, hybrid oajs are almost entirely non-oa content, the highest I know of is PNAS, at 20%. So keeping the current categories would be misleading as well.
The narrow meaning for OAj is fixed by external standards (the Berlin and Budapest declarations) and cannot be changed by use contrary to the real world. So a more general term must be found.--but I do not know one. Possibilities are:
- Journals with at least some open access ?.
- Journals with open access articles
- Journals with some or all open access articles
Unfortunately, this leaves out delayed open access journals, where the open access is not immediate. These are also absolutely excluded by the outside standards, and he above terms do not work--leaving perhaps
- Journals with open content -- which is at least neutral.
It will undoubtedly need to be changed sometime in the near future, but it is the best I can do for now. I intend to make the change sunday night. Logic loses again. DGG 04:26, 7 January 2007 (UTC) or Journals with open content?DGG 04:56, 7 January 2007 (UTC)
