Maggie Fox, Hiding Genome Data Won't Protect Us, Experts Say, Reuters, Sept. 9. 2004. More on the NRC-appointed committee that advocates maintaining open access to germ genome information. Dr. Stanley Falkow, the committee chair, comments: "The sum total of information we get from the study of all pathogens is what we need to really be able to understand and hopefully learn how to outwit these disease agents."

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.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
