Open access and open source in chemistry
,----[ Quote ]
| Scientific data are being generated and shared at ever-increasing
| rates. Two new mechanisms for doing this have developed: open
| access publishing and open source research. We discuss both,
| with recent examples, highlighting the differences between the
| two, and the strengths of both.

Open Source Research -- the Power of Us

| Open source methods have delivered tangible benefits in the computer
| science community. We describe here efforts to extend these principles
| to science generally, and in particular biomedical research. Open
| source research holds great promise for solving complex problems in
| areas where profit-driven research is seen to have failed. We
| illustrate this with a specific problem in organic chemistry that
| we think will be solved substantially faster with an open
| source approach.
