UN meeting urged to back open access science David Dickson 7 December 2003 http://www.scidev.net/news/index.cfm?fuseaction=readnews&itemid=1135&language=1
I recommend this article as an excellent insight into the politics affecting open access at a high level. Anyone who has followed the efforts of the working group on scientific information to get open access on to the agenda of the World Summit on the Information Society (WSIS), and explicitly into the Declaration of Principles, can only applaud the remarkable progress and persistence shown by Francis Muguet and his colleagues, and wish them luck at this week's meeting. http://www.wsis-si.org/si-wg.html Steve Hitchcock IAM Group, School of Electronics and Computer Science University of Southampton SO17 1BJ, UK Email: sh...@ecs.soton.ac.uk Tel: +44 (0)23 8059 3256 Fax: +44 (0)23 8059 2865
