US Congress May Kill NIH Open Access Research Rules
by Saiful Amin 17 Sep '08

17 Sep '08

Greetings. There is an important debate happening in Slashdot on the above topic: http://news.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=08/09/16/208247 Summary: "*A policy that mandates public, open access to all National Institutes of Health research is in danger. The House of Representatives is considering legislation that would change the open access policy<http://arstechnica.com/articles/culture/open-access-science.ars>to make it more publisher-friendly, under the false pretense of protecting copyrights. The Ars author paints the new legislation as somewhat reflective of a turf battle in Congress: 'The Intellectual Property Subcommittee clearly felt that it had been ignored during the original passage of the bill that compelled the NIH's open access policy...' The article concludes: 'Currently, the disruptions wrought by the Internet and expectations of open access are too new for a viable alternative to traditional publishing to have emerged. But it doesn't appear that the NIH policy is making a significant contribution to that disruption, and the benefits of the policy appear likely to be significant. If Congress rolls back that policy in response to disagreements with other countries over film piracy, then it could really be throwing the baby out with the bathwater.*" Regards, Saiful -- Saiful Amin +91 9343826438 -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.
