August issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter

[Peter Suber <peters@earlham.edu>]

* Announcement (cross-posted) *

I just mailed the August issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter.  This
issue takes a close look at the first articles to be released online as a
result of the NIH public-access policy and the signs that both houses of
Congress want to see results from the policy.  The Top Stories section
takes a brief look at the release of Celera Genomics data into the public
domain, the new publishing guides from OSI and SPARC, two new OA journals
from PLoS, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft study of author attitudes
toward OA, and the continuing news and comment on the RCUK draft OA
policy.
