NIH Wants Your Papers Now.

The article informs that the U.S.'s National Institutes of Health's (NIH's) new push to expand public access to papers it funds kicks in this week. As of 2 May, NIH-funded investigators are requested to submit copies of final, accepted journal manuscripts to NIH (www.nihms.nih.gov), which will post them in NIH's PubMed Central papers archive no more than 12 months after they're published in the journal. NIH announced the policy in February after a 6-month battle between open-access advocates and journal publishers, who say the policy violates copyrights and will put them out of business.
