Tax & Business Law Commentary


A reference to The Public Library of Science is found at Tax & Business Law Commentary, a blog by Stuart Levine.

As related at the Public Library of Science site:
"The Public Library of Science (PLoS) is a non-profit organization of scientists and physicians committed to making the world's scientific and medical literature a freely available public resource."

As Levine writes:
"This organization will publish on-line journals containing referred papers concerning various aspects of scientific research. Access to the journals will be free and open to the public. It is hoped that the effort will spawn a host of competing publications that will replace the subscription based system currently in place for the publication of scientific papers. The costs of those subscriptions significantly limits the access of researchers, particularly in poorer countries, to research material."
