Measure Calls for Wider Access to Federally Financed Research

June 26, 2003
By WARREN E. LEARY

A group challenging the power of established scientific journals says
legislation will be introduced to make the results of all federally
financed research available to the public.

The group, the Public Library of Science, which includes scientists,
doctors, researchers and their public supporters, plans to announce
legislation on Thursday that would give taxpayers greater access to
scientific data.
