---------- Forwarded Message ---------- These are extracts from a Press Release from JISC the UK Joint Information Systems Committee representing UK universities: .. deal announced today by The Joint Information Systems Committee (JISC), ...and open access publisher BioMed Central.... The 15 month BioMed Central membership agreement commences on the 1 July. From this date article- processing charges will be waived - for all UK higher education staff - when publishing in any of BioMed Central's 90+ peer-reviewed journals in which all research content is freely accessible. More than 80,000 biology and medical researchers working at UK universities can now share their research findings freely with fellow researchers, funding bodies, students, journalists, and the general public worldwide. .... Publishing in freely accessible online journals will also make the UK higher education system more cost- effective, by reducing the amount of money spent on journal subscriptions. The JISC deal means that 180 universities in the UK will now become BioMed Central members. Together with the recent NHS England membership agreement http://www.biomedcentral.com/info/about/pr-releases?pr=20030306, the vast majority of research produced in the UK could be published in open access journals at no cost to the individual author. BioMed Central now has more members in the UK than in any other country. ------------------------------------------------------- -- Best wishes Peter Strickland Managing Editor IUCr Journals ---------------------------------------------------------------------- IUCr Editorial Office, 5 Abbey Square, Chester CH1 2HU, England Phone: 44 1244 342878 Fax: 44 1244 314888 Email: ps@iucr.org Ftp: ftp.iucr.org WWW: http://journals.iucr.org/ NEWSFLASH: Complete text of all IUCr journals back to 1948 now online!
