What I find utterly dumbfounding is how some of the journals get away with charging everyone money. First, the journals charge the labs publishing fees. Then, the journals turn around and charge the Universities access fees. It is sheer lunacy.

I wish the NIH or NSF would require that all published studies from their grants be placed in the public domain.




I think NIH does, it is called pub med central. (well, this is not technically public domain; but rather open access)
