On eprints at Harvard and Full Monty open-access
I’m still trying to figure out the consequences of Harvard’s Arts and Science faculty voting last week to push open-access publication of faculty work.

I’m taking a break between formatting most of the text and inserting and fiddling with tables.) So much for […]
