UK PubMed Central Launched
From InfoToday:
Based on a model currently used by the U.S. National Institutes of Health (NIH), UK PubMed Central (UKPMC) has launched to provide free access to a permanent online archive of peer-reviewed research papers in the medical and life sciences. A group of nine U.K. research organizations, led by the Wellcome Trust, awarded the contract to develop UKPMC to a partnership between The British Library, The University of Manchester, and the European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI) last July.
