Yale Library drops BioMed Central’s Open Access membership

Yale Says After careful consideration, the Cushing/Whitney Medical and Kline Science Libraries have decided to end their support for BioMed Central’s Open Access publishing effort. The libraries previously covered 100% of the author article charges which allowed these papers to be made freely available worldwide via the Internet at time of publication. This experiment in Open Access publishing has proved unsustainable. The libraries’ support will continue for all Yale-authored articles currently in submission to BioMed Central as of July 27, 2007.
