The Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) will promote open access to scientific articles generated from publicly funded research, the academy announced Thursday in Beijing.   In a statement, CAS said it will require its researchers and graduate  students to deposit final, peer-reviewed manuscripts of research articles into the open access repositories of their respective  institutes within 12 months of their official publication in academic journals. The National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) also issued a similar policy at the meeting supporting open access to the published results of all NSFC-funded projects.
