For the first quarter century of the Internet’s existence, scientists have stood by as publishers hid taxpayer-funded research behind paywalls. No more. It’s time for #OAintheUSA.
Proud to join 125 other organizations to oppose a costly proposed Administration policy that would undermine scientific discovery, American jobs, & our global competitiveness. Read the coalition letter: presspage-production-content… @americanpublish @AmericanCancer @globalIPcenter
