Today's (April 26) Nature magazine http://www.nature.com/nature/ contains the following article on the Self-Archiving Initiative: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Tp/naturenew.htm (the above is the preprint: official version is at nature.com).
Nature is also currently running an on-line debate on "Future e-access to the primary literature" at: http://www.nature.com/nature/debates/e-access/index.html This includes the following commentary by me: http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/Tp/nature3.htm (the above is the preprint: official version is at nature.com). Science is also currently running an on-line debate on the same topic: http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/eletters/291/5512/2318a and http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/eletters/291/5512/2318b All interested (and informed) parties are encouraged to participate in both debates. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Stevan Harnad har...@cogsci.soton.ac.uk Professor of Cognitive Science har...@princeton.edu Department of Electronics and phone: +44 23-80 592-582 Computer Science fax: +44 23-80 592-865 University of Southampton http://www.ecs.soton.ac.uk/~harnad/ Highfield, Southampton http://www.princeton.edu/~harnad/ SO17 1BJ UNITED KINGDOM NOTE: A complete archive of the ongoing discussion of providing free access to the refereed journal literature online is available at the American Scientist September Forum (98 & 99 & 00 & 01): http://amsci-forum.amsci.org/archives/American-Scientist-Open-Access-Forum.html You may join the list at the site above.
