Given that the US PublicAccess program has opted for delayed access it is more like Dominant On Arrival, since the Fedsfund a significant fraction of all published research. In that regard I notice that the definition of DOAdoes not mention government mandates, which it should. The US action may be decisive.Also the references to hybrid are somewhat muddled. Hybrid is not a kind of article access at all,rather it is a kind of journal access. Perhaps we need a different set of definitions for articles and journals.What does seem funny to me, as an observer, is that the publishers have basically said "Okay, if youinsist on giving us money to publish your articles, then we will take it." Wiley, for example, is bringingout a bunch of new APC journals. At this point it looks like DOA and APC are the future of OA. Of coursethat may change given time.David Wojick
