To help authors negotiate with publishers, SPARC (the Scholarly Publishing & Academic Resources Coalition) and Science Commons have come up with author addenda to copyright forms as a free resource to authors everywhere [Appendix 5]. But Stevan Harnad believes that promoting this strategy — helping authors obtain part of the copyright they surrender to journal publishers through an author's addendum for every article they write, one by one — is “the equivalent of trying to combat smoking by trying to persuade smokers to write individually to tobacco companies to ask them to manufacture fewer cigarettes.” 132 He argues: (1) The goal is to provide Open Access, not to modify author copyright agreements. (2) The SPARC author addendum 133 is much too strong in any case: gratuitously and self-defeatingly strong: (3) No publisher permission is required by authors to deposit 134 the full-text of their refereed, revised, accepted final drafts in their own institutional repositories, immediately upon acceptance for publication. (4) The bibliographic metadata (author, date, title, journal, etc.) are in any case immediately accessible to all would-be users. (5) The majority 135 of journals (including just about all the top journals) have already formally endorsed setting access to the full text of the deposit as Open Access immediately upon deposit. (6) If, for the remaining minority of journals, the author wishes to observe a publisher embargo on Open Access, access to the deposit full-text can be set to "Closed Access" rather than "Open Access" during the embargo, and the author can email eprints 136 to would-be users on request. (7) This provides immediate Open Access to the majority of deposits plus "Almost Open Access" to the remaining minority, thereby providing for all immediate research usage needs and ensuring — once it is being done universally — that embargoes will die their natural, well-deserved deaths soon thereafter, 137 under the growing pressure from the universal deposits, the palpable benefits of the majority Open Access and the contrasting anomaly of the minority of embargoed 132 Harnad S (2011), The Long, Wrong Road to Copyright Negotiation, Open Acess Archivangelism, 15 January 2011; http://openaccess.eprints.org/index.php?/archives/2011/01.html. 133 http://www.arl.org/sparc/bm~doc/Access-Reuse_Addendum.pdf. 134 http://openaccess.eprints.org/index.php?/archives/71-guid.html. 135 http://romeo.eprints.org/stats.php. 136 http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/18511/. 137 http://eprints.ecs.soton.ac.uk/15617/.

access and the needless inconvenience and delay of individual email eprint requests. (8) But the best author strategy 138 of all is to make all deposits immediately Open Access today, and to decide whether or not to Close Access to any one of them only if and when they ever receive a take-down notice from the publisher." 138 http://openaccess.eprints.org/index.php?/archives/136-guid.html.
