This prevents an interesting opportunity to see how important free
access is to the status of a journal. The IOP press release speaks
in glowing terms of JHEP's importance, it's 6.6 impact factor
attained in just 1 year. I wonder if this would be true had it cost
$900 from issue 1. I wonder what the impact will be in 2004 or
2005 when it is no longer free.
