UK PubMed Central Project: EU tender process launched

["Kiley ,Mr Robert" <r.kiley@wellcome.ac.uk>]

The Wellcome Trust - the lead partner in a group of major UK 
biomedical research funding bodies (the UKPMC Implementation 
Group) - launched a tender process this week to identify a 
supplier to host, manage and develop a UK version of PubMed 
Central (UKPMC).

Based on the US National Library of Medicine's PubMed Central, 
the aim of this initiative is to create a stable, permanent, and 
free-to-access online digital archive of the full-text, 
peer-reviewed research publications (and datasets) that arise 
from the research funded by the UKPMC Implementation Group. UKPMC 
will be fully searchable and provide context-sensitive links to 
other online resources, such as gene and chemical compound 
databases.
