From "Library Link of the Day" October 19th.
ArXiv, the physics open repository, is mentioned as the exception, and even this doesn’t get all of the papers researchers should, or would want to see. The Director of the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics, says that the U.S. lags way behind Europe and other countries.
On a more hopeful note, the Johns Hopkins Data Conservancy project Director, Sayeed Choudhury, envisions a time when huge amounts of data will be available to researchers everywhere.
