摘要：As of January 2008 the Journal of the American Society for Information Science & Technology (JASIST) will follow the “green road” open access model – authors publishing in the Journal (and only authors) may post preprints to their own or their institution's repositories with links to the final article and to the online journal. The ASIS&T Board of Directors arrived at this decision after a detailed analysis that weighed the logistical, economic and philosophical issues involved. With the JASIST publisher, Wiley-Blackwell, we agreed to institute this policy on a trial basis and to work together to monitor the impact of the new policy. We were interested broadly in understanding what effects the new policy would have on submissions, readership and subscriptions, and we agreed to conduct baseline and subsequent surveys to track changes in these areas.
