    <description>
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot; background- &quot;&gt;Washington, DC – Thirty-three research institutions, associations, and foundations in the U.S., Canada, and Mexico have made a commitment to Open Access to research by signing the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities. These top private, public, and non-profit organizations join nearly 300 more from around the world in another clear sign of the growing demand for change in the way scientific and scholarly research results are communicated and maximized.

    <title>3rd Anniversary of the NIH Public Access Policy: Call for Stories</title>
    <description>
It&apos;s hard to believe, but April 7, 2011 will mark the 3rd Anniversary of the implementation of the&amp;#160;policy opening up access to articles reporting on the results of NIH-funded research. The policy has&amp;#160;shown tremendous signs of success. PubMed Central now contains more than 2 million full text articles&amp;#160;reporting on the latest NIH-funded research, and nearly a *half a million* individuals access these&amp;#160;articles each day.&amp;#160;With this new wealth of information now available, we&apos;d like to know what *your* experience has been&amp;#160;with it.
