EU to encourage online publication of science research - by Paul Meller
In a bid to speed up the dissemination of scientific discoveries, the European Commission said Thursday it plans to shake up the old-fashioned world of scientific publishing by throwing its weight behind a move to make scientific research results freely available on the Internet.
Until now results have been published in journals along with peer reviews of the research. Publishers of scientific, technical and medical journals argue that the peer review system wouldn't work as reliably if results were published willy-nilly online.
