Online Publishing ...From: Dean Huffman (jth@springnet1.com)Fri Apr 27 11:16:35 2001
.. Submitted for your comment: Online Science Publishing: Publish Free or Perish Last fall, a group of prominent scientists called for a boycott of any scientific journals which fail to release their papers to a free public online archive within a few months of publication. The idea has since gained serious momentum and by now over 15,000 scientists worldwide have signed on to strike. The point of the strike, scheduled for later this year, is to promote the open exchange of scientific results, which many scientists feel is impaired by the commerce-driven policies of prestigious paper journals. Scientific American (SciAm) summarizes the issue, which bears on the very foundations of modern scientific practice. This is an upheaval in the making of great importance to the future of scientific information sharing and dissemination. Debate hotly rages on the Web sites of the preeminent science journals Nature and Science with more material than we can possibly cover.

The American Medical Association is no longer designating CME hours for AMA Category II CME credit. However, physicians themselves may self designate learning activities as Category II CME credit hours if they feel it is of sufficient educational merit and meets the formal definitions of continuing medical education. OBGYN.net believes these interaction in this forum meets these criteria. For further information see the AMA web site.
