Free access is valued by authors

Authors value free access to research articles
"Free access to research articles on bmj.com is an important factor in authors' decision on whether to submit their papers to the BMJ. In a cross sectional electronic survey by Schroter, over half of responding authors said that ending free access to research articles would make them slightly less likely to submit to the BMJ in the future, and two thirds said their view of the journal would change if it closed access to research articles."
