From Prof. Peter Suber
Temporary free access to Royal Society journals back to 1665 The Royal Society has finished digitizing all the back issues of all its journals back to 1665. To celebrate, it's offering free online access to the lot until December. See the RS announcement or The Register's news story. (Thanks to Matt Cockerill.) Normally I don't blog trial offers of free online access but I'm making an exception for this one. This window onto the history of science is extraordinary. ---- When will CSIR and other Indian journals digitize their back issues and give free access to them? Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and the Wellcome Trust (and other Foundations) may support a programme of digitizing all back issues of scientific journals of the developing world and making them available via open access.
