Hello all,

To add to the discussion around the BIS Report, today the Australian
Open Access Support group have added two blogs to the AOASG website to
summarise and discuss the contents of the BIS [UK House of Commons
Business Innovations & Skills] Report:

Part one summarises the findings and implications from the report -
http://aoasg.org.au/2013/09/19/bis-report-part-one-findings-implications/

Part two cherry picks some interesting information and observations
contained in the report -
http://aoasg.org.au/2013/09/19/bis-report-part-two-information-observations/
These include the finding that the UK has twice as much of their
research available open access than the rest of the world.

We also published a story yesterday in The Conversation UK about the
way the current UK position is affecting all researchers worldwide -
