Submitted title was "MIT Press has granted full access to all its journals". What's the source for that? It's extremely important to be accurate with this kind of thing. The discussion below is all based on assuming that that title is literally true.

The HN guidelines specifically ask you not to rewrite titles unless they are misleading or linkbait: https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html.

I've changed the URL from https://www.mitpressjournals.org/action/showPublications, which doesn't explain anything, to the press release which, although it's a press release, sort of does. Nevertheless it's hard to figure out what exactly is being announced here.

Well the title was true. There is full access to the journals. People seem to think that means open access though. The new link is about all new monographs being open access, which isn't the same as read access to mit journals.

I haven't seen any announcement for _all_ the journals but I got a number of emails that _MIT Sloan Management Review_ site is unlocked March 2-4: https://sloanreview.mit.edu/article/big-picture-little-pictu...

Maybe all the MIT publications do the same?

Is MIT Sloan Management Review an MIT Press thing? It sort of looks like it isn't, at first glance so it might not be related to this at all.
