OA at the NIH, and Reactions.

On Dec. 26 the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) received a legislative requirement (see here, choose HR 2764, and browse for National Institues of Health, then see sec. 218) to make all of its publicly-funded research results available online for free. A summary of the event with comments and links to reactions was published by Peter Suber in his SPARC Open Access Newsletter on Jan. 2, and, here is a preprint of an article on the news, which is to appear in an upcoming Information Today.
