The journal Nature announced last week it will offer free access to a number of its articles online.
It’s a move the journal said is a result of research funders "increasingly mandating that scientists make their papers free to read, download and reuse," but there are some strings attached. Articles can’t be copied, printed, or downloaded. They need to be read in a proprietary screen-view format, and can only be accessed through a special type of link.
This news story is funded in large part by Connecticut Public’s Members — listeners, viewers, and readers like you who value fact-based journalism and trustworthy information.
We hope their support inspires you to donate so that we can continue telling stories that inform, educate, and inspire you and your neighbors. As a community-supported public media service, Connecticut Public has relied on donor support for more than 50 years.
Your donation today will allow us to continue this work on your behalf. Give today at any amount and join the 50,000 members who are building a better—and more civil—Connecticut to live, work, and play.
