http://www.nytimes.com/2012/01/11/opinion/research-bought-then-paid-for.html I'm jealous of researchers who benefit from the distribution their articles will receive due to the NIH open access policy. The Research Works Act is exactly the wrong step: instead of limiting or eliminating open public access to publicly-funded research, we should be making it all open. There's plenty of opinion against the RWA on the net, but this NYT piece summarizes it quite well.
