Biochemist calls for 'open-source' R&D revolution

,----[ Quote ]
| University of Toronto biochemist Aled Edwards has been one of the leading 
| champions of the open-source research movement in drug development. And he 
| has some interesting numbers to back up his calls for a revolution in 
| research.

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

,----[ Quote ]
| 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.
