Open source scientific information
A series of links to open access journal repositories and other freely available scientific publications, data resources, news services, etc.
The trend for publishing open access papers has increased year-by-year since it took off around 2000. A 2009 report in Science demonstrates that articles that are published via open access are twice as likely to be cited by scientists in developing countries, although this effect was less apparent in those countries with limited internet connectivity. Open access publications are available to anyone, anywhere with a suitable internet connection.
