If these mentioned journals are open access, then the term "OPEN ACCESS" most probably is understood differently or should be newly defined!
*Open Access Journal:* We define open access journals as journals that use a funding model that does not charge readers or their institutions for access. From the BOAI definition [1] of "open access" we take the right of users to "read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles" as mandatory for a journal to be included in the directory. [1] http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/boaifaq.htm#openaccess Just as an example, if COMNET is this one: http://www.journals.elsevier.com/computer-networks/ .... it says me to Purchase! http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/journal/13891286 The point is: Money may be taken for publication, but once published ONLINE, it must be absolutely free to anybody with Internet connection. Usually, to run at least a website and pay for the working people, money is needed (unless there is some party which could spend and maintain the things on its own).
