The publication of previously published academic articles is limited by the fact tham many journals retain the copyright and insist that anyone wanting to read them must either use an institutional source or pay to read the article.

Support Open Source publishing for academic journals.

The holding of copyright by publishing companies for articles that were not paid for in the first place ought to be limited to ten years at the most.
