That's inaccurate. When you publish to a journal, the journal will give you a pdf of your paper which you can put up on a personal site. You always have access to distribute your research.

Another point - journals never charge to publish (conferences do).



That's inaccurate. Plenty of journals don't allow you to put up a copy on your personal website. For example these fine folks that run many journals:

https://authorservices.taylorandfrancis.com/publishing-your-...


Your link states you retain the right to do this, but that it may be subject to an embargo period. If it's referring to the allowed embargo period according to US law (which requires all federally funded papers be shared publicly) then it would be 12 months. They further allow you to share preprints which are not their professionally-formatted versions (i.e. you can put your pre-review version on arxiv), as does generally everyone else.

Also Taylor & Francis may have decent journals in some niches but generally aren't a great publisher.


So called "green OA" practices are:

a. far from ubiquitous

b. often include provisions created by the publisher designed to make discoverability outside of the journal difficult


Journals charge to publish. They even charge more if you want color pages.

I have the proofs of my papers, but I cannot access them online anymore.


This is false, it is merely a CSE viewpoint. In science, several prestigious journals are difficult to get into, and afterwards, charge you for the paper, per column or per page, being published. Figures and color may cost extra (significantly).
