The National Institutes of Health invites your comments on its proposal to make NIH-funded research available for free on the web. It would require NIH grant recipients to allow public access within six months of publication. An excellent idea, since it's public money funding the research. Encouraged by House Appropriations Committee. Opposed by some publishers. Comments invited - deadline Nov. 3.
The comment form takes about a minute to fill out. A definite worthwhile investment of your time.
