Ninety-eight percent of 51 polled medical editors felt that published research articles should be available to the public on the World Wide Web at no charge, after a mean time from publication of 1.4 years for viewing and 1.9 years for printing. Public libraries or other government institutions could be allowed to assume the responsibility of housing and distributing the electronically stored archived material, analogous to their role with printed material, lifting the financial burden from the publishing companies.
在接受调查的51位医学编辑中，98%的人认为，已发表的研究文章应在万维网上免费向公众提供，平均发表后1.4年可供查阅，1.9年可供打印。可以允许公共图书馆或其他政府机构承担保存和分发电子存储存档材料的责任，类似于它们在印刷材料方面的作用，从而减轻出版公司的经济负担。
