[open-science] UK science to be open access

Wed Jul 18 14:52:08 UTC 2012

Thank you Mark, that's quite a move from the UK. Let's hope other countries
in the EU will follow.

On the debate Gold OA versus Green OA, I also recommand the editorial from
the Guardian

And for a wider perspective on OA, data-Intensive research and public
engagement, the report from the Royal Society is worth reading
