Jan Velterop, What is an OA Journal? The Parachute, March 8, 2006. Excerpt: Comment. Good point. BioMed Central's journals, for example, are unmistakably OA, but some of them include non-OA commissioned content, like review articles, alongside OA research articles. One property of OA journals is that they provide OA to their OA articles themselves and don't merely permit authors to do it through OA archiving.
