UK government rejects public access publishing proposal as US considers the issue, Research Research, November 11, 2004. An unsigned news story. Excerpt: 'As the US government solicits advice on its proposal to enhance public access to data from federally funded research by asking grantees to deposit results in a public archive once the work has been accepted for publication in peer-reviewed journals, the British government has rejected a similar proposal by a parliamentary committee to make results from publicly-supported research freely available.'

Removing the barriers to serious research.
