I believe, when a journal is indexed by Thomson Reuters or Scopus, authors should not worry about anything. The personal opinions have no intrinsic or extrinsic value. No one can set the rules for open access publishing. What is right or what is wrong? Just try to consider only two monopolistic entities i.e. in US, Thomson Reuters and in Europe, Scopus. Other than these, all the entities covered by Web of Knowledge also work fine.
