11. Thank you for pointing that out. I didn't notice; I generally assume that...

...most ACS articles are paywalled, since most often they are.

The authors generally have to pay to have their articles be open sourced.

The Unprinted Journal (Sedlack, Environ. Sci. Technol. 2016, 50, 10775?10776)

With constrained budgets in the sciences, that's I'm sure a difficult sell; although as Sedlack points out it can lead to more citations.

The paper to which I must often refer in my on line writing, since it's so important, is also open sourced, which I find convenient: Prevented Mortality and Greenhouse Gas Emissions from Historical and Projected Nuclear Power (Pushker A. Kharecha* and James E. Hansen, Environ. Sci. Technol., 2013, 47 (9), pp 4889–4895) It's now up to 97 citations, and has remained one of the most read papers (12 month running inventory) in the journal, but I'm not convinced that it's because it's open sourced, but has been successful because it's insightful, accurate, and because it flies in the face of so much public "conventional wisdom," which is not, in fact, "wisdom" any more than the idea that electric and fuel cell cars are sustainable.

Thanks again.
