Hi all,

Not sure if you're aware of this issue.

A few years ago, NIH declared that all research funded through them must eventually end up in a free-to-read format (usually an open access journal).

This did terrible things to the business plans of cost-per-view journals who would much rather charge you $25 to see an article on cancer research paid for the US government, so they have asked congress to make a law preventing any government body from requiring that government-funded research be put in an open access journal.

Apparently it's another bit of bipartisan corruption:

(gmail) filtered out the trailing colon...

its ironic how Darrell Issa is so against SOPA (http://www.youtube.com/
watch?v=KyiLPZrsx9A), but is pushing this bill. WTF! (please do excuse
my language)
