   Dear academics: If you're allowed to email people copies of your paper if they ask, consider setting up a mail rule for yourself that autoreplied to any mail you receive that has the DOI of a paper you wrote in the subject with a copy of that paper.

     @mhoye Well, there is a political solution: in France, a law from 2016 allows (public) researchers to open-access their own articles. Almost all science from France ends up as PDF on https://hal.archives-ouvertes.fr/

     Some French universities even **require** their staff to open-access everything.

     The only thing an editor can ask is an embargo of max. 6 months (12 months for social sciences)

     This was not easy, but there is a big "open science" movement in France.
