Wellcome Trust endorses/forces open access
Welcome to the open access debate, Wellcome Trust. Running your own archive, though? Is that the best use of resources? What we don't need is all the sponsors running their own initiatives and further fragmenting access. Interesting to consider: Now all policies regarding what you with an article are essentially the same (read, photocopy under limited rules, etc.) but there are a handful of places to look for articles -- we all know the biggies. Now we're headed toward freer access to papers, but more fragmented places to look for the papers. Perhaps sometime we'll have a happy balance of both!
