Letters to the Editor: The Open Access Now Forum

A note from the Editor:

One of the goals we had when we launched Open Access Now was to stimulate debate about Open Access within the scientific community and to provide a forum for an exchange of views. We have been delighted to receive a steady stream of emails containing feedback and comments.

To encourage discussion and debate, we have established this forum where you can respond to individual articles or letters from others, and raise new issues. The views expressed in these letters are exclusively those of the authors.

To send a letter to the Editor, or respond to any of the discussions, please write to me. We will assume that any messages sent to this address are intended for publication on this forum. Now is the time to contribute your ideas - we welcome your comments.

Jonathan Weitzman, PhD
Editor, Open Access Now
