The UK House of Commons Science and Technology Committee has released the uncorrected transcript of oral evidence given on March 8 by Julia King (Institute of Physics), Sally Morris (ALPSP), Martin Richardson (Oxford University Press), Nigel Goddard (Axiope), Vitek Tracz (BioMed Central), and Harold Varmus (PLoS). "Any public use of, or reference to, the contents [of this uncorrected transcript] should make clear that neither witnesses nor Members have had the opportunity to correct the record. The transcript is not yet an approved formal record of these proceedings." (PS: This is the pro-OA testimony to supplement the generally anti-OA testimony given on March 1.)
