Demand that NSF follow NIH's lead on open access publishing Three years ago this week, the National Institutes of Health announced that all medical research they fund would have to be published as "open access" -- available to anyone, for free, over the Internet. The policy has been a huge success, but now it's time for the rest of the government to follow suit. For more details, please visit: http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/nsf/?source=bb
