Hi, I am confused about the publishing of full-text articles that are published in journals like JAACAP, etc. How is this allowed, doesn't the journal limit who has access to each article?
Thanks,
Mike Shapiro

Hey Michael,
I would say your best bet is to read the permissions for each journal, as it will vary. Some have certain restrictions, an example from a journal I frequently publish, the article may be shared while it is published ahead of print, but then should be removed for a year after print. Or there are no restrictions if it is open access. Honestly, best to just check the journals policy or email the editor if it is unclear.
Hope this helps,
Justin
Michael - open access 'usually' means that anyone can access. The business model is that the costs have been met, up-front, with the publication fees. Scholars often ask 'why is open access' so expensive with many journals. It is for this reason. They have to factor the on-going running costs with a pre-determined fee cost - as further revenue will be generated no matter how many people access an article - although there is some potential i.e. charging fees for replication of copyrighted figures etc.
