Abstract
Federal science agencies publish a large volume of peer-reviewed papers each year but much of it is restricted to subscribers of commercial publications. Since copyrights are much less restrictive with federally-authored works, these agencies should exploit this "comparative advantage" by creating publicly accessible repositories of these electronic reprints.
