RE: Bad Times are Good Times for Open Access?

["Publishing Research Consortium" <info@publishingresearch.net>]

In a number of countries where the economy is less well 
developed, I realize that dissemination of research via journals 
has to be government-funded one way or another.  In which case, 
making the journals (which the government already funds) Open 
Access may, indeed, make sense.

However, in the current climate anyone who thinks that government 
funding is not subject to the vagaries of the economy must be 
living in dreamland!
