RE: Who gets hurt by Open Access?

["David Goodman" <David.Goodman@liu.edu>]

Dear Peter,

I have, as you suggested, looked at the funding sources for your authors. 
In the most recent issue of "Diabetes," July 2005, there are 40 articles.
   
20 of them have one or more US government sponsors 
21 have one of more non-US governmental sponsors
7 have one or more US non-profit organization sponsors
20 have one or more non-US non-profit sponsors,
2 have one or more US industry sponsors
10 have one or more non-US industry sponsors.

of these 40, 

     2 have only industry sponsors
     9 are either NIH internal authors, or have only NIH as a sponsor,

(Many had multiple sponsorships; I did not count author addresses as
sponsors unless no sponsor was listed.)

Please look at the funding sources for our authors. Fewer than half are
government funded. The largest single source of funding is private
industry.
