[IS4CWN] Call for papers: Special Issue on Community Networks - Elsevier Computer Networks Journal

[Leandro Navarro]

Thanks for bringing this to attention.

That Open Access fee is the most simple but most expensive option to get
open publication directly from the publisher's version.
Fortunately there are other options: see ...
http://www.sherpa.ac.uk/romeo/search.php?issn=0140-3664&type=issn&la=en&fIDnum=|&mode=simple

For this specific journal:
Author's Pre-print: author can archive pre-print (ie pre-refereeing)
Author's Post-print: author can archive post-print (ie final draft
post-refereeing)
Publisher's Version/PDF: author cannot archive publisher's version/PDF

You can also use well known archives such as zenodo.org or a local one
(many universities have open repositories).

If you want to know more about the OpenAccess from an social perspective:

Regards, Leandro.
