Science: Building A "GenBank" of the Published Literature
Submitted by Joe Ryan; posted on Friday, March 30, 2001
This article [1] describes the effort to "create public, electronic archives of the scientific literature, containing complete copies of all published scientific papers." It shows how bringing this data together in an electronic archive will "encourage the development of new, more sophisticated, and valuable ways of using this information, much as GenBank has done for DNA sequences." Growing support is being demonstrated "by the growing list of scientists who have signed an open letter [2] advocating free and unrestricted distribution of scientific literature 6 months after publication."
