Open access to online journals

Education Week (not itself an open-access publication) reports that faculty at Stanford's School of Education have voted to make scholarly articles available for free to the public. According to a Stanford professor, only 15 percent of 1,600 education journals worldwide provide free access.

At the same time, the Chronicle of Higher Education reports a study that finds as more scholarly articles appear online, scholars' citations tend toward more recent and less diverse articles.
