[Insight-users] IMAGINE... "THE INS"

[Luis Ibanez]

IMAGINE:


   Imagine a world where funding agencies
   will reimburse you for costs of publishing
   in open access journals.






STOP Imagining:



"In the Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing, major private
  funders of biomedical research committed to open access. The Howard
  Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI), which hosted the Bethesda meeting,
  announced its support of open access and new policies that provide
  authors with grant funds to pay publication charges. HHMI will
  reimburse investigators up to $3,000 in FY2004 for the costs of open
  access publishing."

"The Wellcome Trust, a U.K.-based independent research-funding charity
  that aims to improve human and animal health, participated in the
  Bethesda meeting and issued its own separate public endorsement of OA
  soon after; the Trust will allow researchers to use contingency funds
  from research grants for open access publishing costs."
