> You may be interested to read the press release entitled Top Medical And
Scientific Societies Commit To Providing Free Access To
> Medical And Scientific Research at http://www.dcprinciples.org/
>
> Forty-eight non-profit publishers of 380 journals each year, representing
> more than 600,000 members of medical and scientific societies, and posting
800,000 articles on line each year, of which more than
> 440,000 are free, have signed the "Washington DC Principles for Free
Access to Science," whose
> gist is:
>
> * Selected important articles of interest are free online from the time of
> publication;
>
> * The full text of our journals is freely available to everyone worldwide
> either immediately or within months of publication, depending on each
publisher's business and publishing requirements;
>
> * The content of our journals is available free to scientists working in
many low-income nations;
>
> A list of the journals can be found at
> http://www.dcprinciples.org/signatories.htm

> Best wishes
