Dear Friends, The following is sent for your kind information. Sorry for cross posting. According to one of the mails received by me, a new open access/repository law passed in Argentina. The law requires that the country's Scientific institutions make their research output openly accessible. This is the second open access law passed in South America this year, along with a law that was passed earlier in Peru. It is fantastic news all around and reflects of the growing worldwide momentum for open access, which is especially strong right now in Latin America!
