Do you know that as of May 3, 2005 NIH asks NIH-funded scientists to deposit their articles (published earlier in scientific journals) in PubMedCentral (PMC)? PMC is accessible to all for free and is one form of the academic world movement towards Public Open Access to scholar literature, free from commercial publishers' cabal. New to Open Access? Then you miss important science publishing development, because an NIH provision became a US law at the end of 2007. Read lay language article on Open Access authored by AlzClub founder.
