SciDev.Net launched their new quick guide on science publishing today (www.scidev.net/scipub). This quick guide is an update of the special section on open access produced last November for WSIS. The new quick guide is more comprehensive with interesting original opinion pieces on the debate on access for developing countries and other features on the different models available (including Bioline International).

Both Bioline International and SciDev.Net hope this site will be of particular relevance to those who are interested in new models for science publishing

SciDev.Net recently featured an article that highlights the need for open access publishing and self-archiving in the developing world. The article, 'Self-archiving' urged for developing-world scientists is based on the release of a letter from the Electronic Publishing Trust, a major partner in the Bioline International project.
