July issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter

[Peter Suber <peters@earlham.edu>]

* Announcement (cross-posted) *

I just mailed the July issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter.  This
issue takes a close look at the draft open-access policy from the RCUK and
ways make open-access literature more visible than it already is.  It also
updates last month's report on journal policies toward NIH-funded authors.  
The Top Stories section takes a brief look at the new Swan-Brown study of
self-archiving, the OA Law Program from Science Commons, the rising impact
factors at BMC and PLoS, a raft of new resolutions endorsing OA, and the
House of Representatives support for PubChem against the lobbying of the
American Chemical Society.
