I am surprised that Frederick did not know about
Pubmed all these years. Pubmed has been the
indispensable nexus of all medical and biological
research for the past 15 years, and Medline for some
years before that. One can link to a wide range of
articles in open access journals through it. For
example, the full text of peer-reviewed papers
published in the Proceedings of the National Academy
of Sciences, USA (PNAS) and of the Royal Society of
London have been freely available through it.
Cheers,
Santosh
