Why open access? Tim Brody answers
by Mailing List Manager 20 Nov '06

20 Nov '06

Date: Fri, 17 Nov 2006 08:49:38 +0000 (GMT) From: Subbiah Arunachalam <subbiah_a(a)yahoo.com> Friends: Here is a short piece by Tim Brody of the University of Southampton. A strong arguement indeed in favour of mandating open access to all research, especially publicly funded research. Best wishes. Arun [Subbiah Arunachalam] ------- Open access and science I've been asked to contribute to a 'focus' section on open access: More precisely, do you think that open-access publication speeds up scientific dialog between researchers and, consequently, should be extended to the whole scientific literature as quickly as possible? Do you really think that Open-Access Articles Have a Greater Research Impact? If yes, what are, according to you the main consequences on communication between scientists?
