Translation of Alicia’s Xmas message:

"Let them pay (gold fees) or let them wait (green embargoes)."

I add only that they can (if they have any sense at all) completely ignore
all of Elsevier’s absurd, incoherent, and ever-changing double-talk
<http://openaccess.eprints.org/index.php?serendipity%5Baction%5D=search&serendipity%5BsearchTerm%5D=systematic&serendipity%5BsearchButton%5D=%3E>
about
green and make their refereed, revised final drafts green OA immediately
upon acceptance for publication -- by self-archiving them. (Those who don't
have only themselves to blame.)

With best wishes for a peaceful and relaxing holiday season,

Stevan
