Dear all, You might be interested in this newsfeed announcement regarding the U.S. National Institutes of Health's change in plan regarding the length of time research will be embargoed (from 6 months to 1 year) before it is made freely available: http://www.ihealthbeat.org/index.cfm?logoff=1 (click on 2nd article). The reason given for the change in embargo time is that NIH could not prove that a 6-month embargo would not adversely impact [the publishing industry]. If the above link doesn't work, let me know and I will try another way. You might also be able to find more on this in the Washington Post, but you would have to register. I think you can read up to 2 articles per day on ihealthbeat without registering. There is also a story ihealthbeat on increased availability of data to the public (British) on adverse drug interactions. Click on the 1st link or see http://www.mhra.gov.uk/news/news.htm#patreport.
