I will let others reply about whether they have such a list. I do not, because I do not advocate favouring journals with favourable copyright policies: Authors should try to get the journal of their choice to modify their copyright agreement: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Tp/copyright.new.html But failing that, they should self-archive anyway, using the completely legal "Harnad/Oppenheim" Strategy: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Tp/resolution.htm#("Harnad/Oppenheim strategy") Good luck setting up Eprints at UMn-D! -------------------------------------------------------------------- Stevan Harnad [email protected] Professor of Cognitive Science [email protected] Department of Electronics and phone: +44 23-80 592-582 Computer Science fax: +44 23-80 592-865 University of Southampton http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/ Highfield, Southampton http://www.princeton.edu/~harnad/ SO17 1BJ UNITED KINGDOM NOTE: A complete archive of the ongoing discussion of providing free access to the refereed journal literature online is available at the American Scientist September Forum (98 & 99 & 00 & 01): http://amsci-forum.amsci.org/archives/American-Scientist-Open-Access-Forum.html You may join the list at the site above.
