Too busy, or too elitist?

Otherwise Rosemarie is right.
But we also ­ all of us ­ should support Open Access publication across the
academic world. It is interesting that large numbers of physical science
journals are available, but few dedicated to linguistics. Traditional
academic journals are really elitist. There are universities throughout the
world ­ including Europe ­ which cannot afford most academic journals due to
the huge costs involved.
