Stephen King has published two works in internet. The first was "Riding the bullet", which sold around 500,000 copies online.

Although many authors believe that their work has a greater research
impact if it is freely available, studies to demonstrate that impact are few.
This study looks at articles in four disciplines at varying stages of adoption
of open access-philosophy, political science, electrical and electronic
engineering and mathematics-to see whether they have a greater im-

research impact. Shedding light on this category of open access reveals
that scholars in diverse disciplines are adopting open-access practices
and being rewarded for it.

Dumping free, state-sponsored news on the market makes it incredibly difficult
for journalism to flourish on the internet," he said. "Yet it is essential for
the future of independent digital journalism that a fair price can be charged
for news to people who value it."
THE ABC has called on the federal government to pass laws ensuring consumers won't have to pay to access any publicly funded content carried on the planned national broadband network, a measure that would give it a huge advantage over its commercial rivals.
