erratum: The self-archiving initiative

In Stevan Harnad's Commentary on freeing the scientific literature (Nature 410, 1024–1025; 2001), the estimate of the minimum cost of peer review was not from the American Institute of Physics but from a summary of a group discussion by Mark Doyle of the American Physical Society. The $500 estimate used in that discussion included only peer-review costs, not post-acceptance costs.
