NIH urges researchers to disseminate research results freely w/in 12 months of publication
“The National Institutes of Health (NIH) announced today a new
policy designed to accelerate the public’s access to published
articles resulting from NIH-funded research. The policy — the first
of its kind for NIH — calls on scientists to release to the public
manuscripts from research supported by NIH as soon as possible,
and within 12 months of final publication.” (Source: Open Access News, which see for Peter Suber’s criticism of the policy)
