[Irtalk] Brazil fêtes open-access site : Nature News & Comment

[Hilton Gibson]

Researchers and publishers are gathering this week in São Paulo, Brazil, to
celebrate a quietly subversive open-access publishing project. The
occasion: the 15th anniversary of SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library
Online), a subsidized collection of mainly Latin American journals that now
puts out more than 40,000 free-to-read articles each year — and which aims
to put developing countries firmly on the scientific map.
