Any scientist who is linked to the developing
worldwide electronic information network
(presently termed the Internet) will be able to
view and to print any article in any journal
published by a scientific society. Printing from
the network will yield hardcopy equal to a
photocopy or reprint of the article. The
information will be free to the person taking the
information from the network (as it is when a
person takes information from a
library). Endorsement of open access by the
Executive Committee of the Florida Entomological
Society10 May 1993

Effect on full-text downloads

• Full-text downloads of articles and scientific
  notes from BioOne were 16x more frequent than
  from the FCLA server.
• More than 400 downloads expected in 2004 for the
  average item published in 2002 and 2003.
