Stevan: would it be helpful to have a 'hall of shame' where titles of journals that do not allow self-archiving are 'outed'??

Furthermore, nearly a quarter of journals allow the publisher's version/PDF to be archived. Only 5% of journals do not permit any form of archiving. The statistics were compiled from a snapshot of the RoMEO Journals database taken on the 15th Nov.2011, when it contained about 19,000 titles.
