Open letters from Nobel laureates supporting open access
For a listserv post, I just pulled together the five open letters to Congress from Nobel laureates in support of US policies requiring open access to publicly-funded research. Now that I've pulled them together, I thought I'd share the list here as well.
* first letter, August 26, 2004; 25 signatures
http://www.taxpayeraccess.org/nobelists2004.html
* second letter, July 8, 2007; 26 signatures
http://www.taxpayeraccess.org/bof.html
* third letter, September 9, 2008; 33 signatures
http://www.arl.org/sparc/bm~doc/nobelistssupportpa-08sept.pdf
* fourth letter, November 10, 2009; 41 signatures
http://www.taxpayeraccess.org/supporters/scientists/nobelists_2009.shtml
* fifth letter, March 28, 2012; 52 signatures
http://www.arl.org/sparc/bm~doc/2012-nobelists-lofgren.pdf
Update. All five links are now dead. For live copies, see my comment below dated March 13, 2019.
