Is it practical and desirable to have it both ways?  Be published in a journal but also publish it on your own blog for free access?<p>So if you publish a paper titled &quot;XYZ&quot; in a journal and also put it on your blog, making sure your blog is visible to search engines - anyone searching for the paper&#x27;s title &quot;XYZ&quot; will find it for free on your blog?<p>(I&#x27;m not involved with the science community)
