* 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.
