Daniel Kane, Kennedy sees rising challenges for science journals, AAAS News, May 26, 2004. Kane summarizes a speech by Donald Kennedy, editor of Science, on a variety of topics from the global character of scientific research to scientific fraud. On OA: "Science and its publisher, AAAS, have been tracking early open-access efforts to determine the viability of this business model. They also are seeking to make peer-reviewed scientific information as broadly accessible as possible, by providing free access to scientists in the world's poorest countries through the Health InterNetwork Access to Research Initiative (HINARI) and Access to Global Online Research in Agriculture (AGORA), for example, and through such public resources as the EurekAlert! Web site and the Association's freely available Healthy People booklets." (Thanks to Debra Lappin.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
