Friends: The Alliance of Taxpayers in the USA have come out with support for Pubchem. Best wishes. Arun [Subbiah Arunachalam] ATA broadening its mission to support OA The Alliance for Taxpayer Access was formed in August 2004 to support the NIH policy. Now that the NIH policy has been adopted, the ATA is broadening its mission. Originally the ATA rested on three principles calling for OA to publicly-funded medical research through the NIH. Now it rests on four principles calling for OA to publicly-funded scientific research of all kinds. The change will allow the ATA to defend PubChem against the ACS and to push for OA to research funded by other US agencies, such as the NSF. The member-organizations of the ATA are a wide range of US universities, libraries, and public-interest non-profits. If your US-based organization is not a member, please urge it consider joining.
