News from the open access movement


Tuesday, June 18, 2002

BioMed Central published the inaugural issue of the Journal of Biology today. This is the premier journal with the distinguished editorial board that BMC expects will challenge Nature, Science, and Cell. (See FOSN for 5/23/02.) Like other BMC journals, it is open-access and authors retain copyrights to their articles.

PS. I have a piece in this issue on open access to the scientific journal literature. (Free registration is required for my piece, but no registration is required for research articles.)
