Let 2007 be the year of Open Access.
by Sukhdev Singh 03 Jan '07

03 Jan '07

Dear Friends, Let us welcome the 2007 year. Let us all wish that 2007 would be the year of open access to peer-reviewed scientific literature. Scientific Content - We, the scientific community, create it. Let us share it openly. Knowledge - More it is shared - the more it grows and makes humans differ from other animals. So friends, let us resolve to promote and support Open Access in 2007. --Sukhdev Singh Co-Moderator - http://groups.yahoo.com/group/oadl/ Join and Contribute.
