!! “My work on biomedical research in
developing countries has shown me that lack of access to current publications has a severe impact.!…!The vast majority of biomedical scientists in Africa attempt to perform globally competitive research without up-to-date access to the wealth of biomedical literature taken for granted at western institutions.”!"Winston Hide, Harvard School of Public Health!!!
Why,open,access?,
Pat,Brown,,pioneer,of,microarrays:,
“We,knew,we,were,not,ge\ng,full,value,out,of,
our,[microarray],data,,because,we,sRll,didn't,
have,ready,access,to,all,the,available,
knowledge,that,was,published.,
“Equally,importantly,,we,wanted,to,put,the,
enRre,corpus,of,relevant,arRcles,in,a,database,
that,would,let,us,automate,the,process,,but,we,
were,thwarted,by,publishers,who,strictly,
forbade,downloading,and,automated,analysis.”,
