<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">My small contribution:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">The only difference between open access and subscription access, is that – with open access – the reader does not have to pay. All OA journals included in DOAJ has gone through some kind of process to be included,
and a very important requirement is that all articles must have a peer-review policy in place.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">My problem with pre-prints: these articles have not gone through a peer-review process yet, and if cited and applied, it might have huge consequences. Therefore – we avoid pre-prints as far possible. We only
include post-prints (following review) and publishers’ versions (also see SHERPA RoMEO and individual web pages for journals to view their policies).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="color:#1F497D">To answer your question: No. If an article was never of good quality, it should not have been published in the first place. If it had merit, it should have been referred to other experts for further input, and
should have been revised before being submitted for a second peer-review.</span></p>
