CERN Pushes for Open Access

CERN is trying to push for open access to all high energy physics papers.

More and more institutions and journals are trying to include some form of open access to published papers. Many established journals such as the Physical Review series, have now included a one-time fee that authors can pay to have their papers available for free by all readers and not just subscribers. CERN's push for the entire field of high energy physics to provide for such open access will commence with them appropriating the budget for all papers produced out of that institution to include the open access fee.
