Friends: Here is some good news. The recommendation (Require open access to the results of non-classified research funded by taxpayers. Extend the exemplary policy now in place at the NIH to all federal agencies.) made by Prof. Peter Suber to the Obama administration that will be in place very soon is now in the top 25 among more than 600 recommendations received so far. If all the scientists and scholars caste their votes it can even move to the top 10. Please alert scientists, scholars and librarians you know to visit the site and vote in favour of Prof. Suber's recommendation. Remember open access would benefit researchers in the developing world immensely. Arun [Subbiah Arunachalam] === OA recommendation for Obama's CTO now in top 25 Today the proposal to require OA for publicly-funded research broke into the top 25 on Obama CTO, the unofficial web site collecting recommendations for the Obama administration. It now appears on the front page, where it should attract even more attention and votes. If you haven't yet voted or spread the word, please do. Thanks for your support.
