Health researchers back new, free Web archive | CNET News.com: "The National Institutes of Health, which spent nearly $20 billion last year funding research, urged scientists on Thursday to let the agency publish their studies on the Internet.
Researchers receiving NIH grants should send their manuscripts to a free, Web-based archive managed by the National Library of Medicine as soon as they can, after first submitting them to medical or scientific journals, NIH director Dr. Elias Zerhouni said.
'With the rapid growth in the public's use of the Internet, NIH must take a leadership role in making available to the public the research that we support,' Zerhouni said. "
