The Threat of Open Access

By RGault

ADVERTISEMENTS

The Public Library of Science (PLoS) is the creation of a group of physicians and scientists who believe that scientific and medical research (much of which is publicly funded) should be freely available to the public. They publish several free online journals. According to an article in Nature, the for-profit publishers have begun to see the open-access movement as a serious threat, and they have hired a public relations firm to develop a campaign against PloS and the PubMed service provided by the National Library of Medicine and the National Institutes of Health.
