Scientists Call on Funders to Make Research Freely Available
Immediately, “Plan U” Proposal Published Today

"In a new article in the open-access journal PLOS Biology, Richard
Sever and John Inglis from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory and Mike
Eisen from UC Berkeley propose a new solution to these problems, which
they call Plan U (for “universal”).

"They call on the organizations that fund research – government
agencies such as NIH and charities like the Howard Hughes Medical
Institute – to require the scientists they support to post drafts of
their papers on free websites called “preprint servers” before
submitting them to academic journals."
