Some of you may have noticed that I read the Proceedings of the National
Academy of the Sciences six months behind their publication date.
That's because the PNAS makes all articles freely available six months
after their publication.
Exactly six months ago, ie in the issue that became free this week, PNAS
annouced a policy of allowing authors to make their articles freely
available at initial publication by paying a $1000 ransom. The free
articles are highlighted with a blue box in the PNAS online table of
contents.
In this week's issues of PNAS, Stuart Kauffman, et al. published
"Genetic networks with canalyzing Boolean rules are always stable"
http://www.pnas.org/cgi/content/full/101/49/17102and paid the ransom, so the article is available now. And there are 14
other free articles in this week's PNAS, and several other articles in
the prepublication listing are also free, including the one about
controlling your mouse with your brainwaves.
