Yes, and a sensible author would provide the easy access method were it stable. But I'm not happy about making a new rule or even publishing new guidance here, because this creates an opportunity for yet more ratholes where people have a fight about whether something is easy enough to get to (do you need to register? Blah blah) or stable enough (is online the "primary" publication? &c &c). I agree with John that this is making a rule where we don't need one. A -- Andrew Sullivan ajs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
