(Yes I'm 2 days late, but I had to give journal club - which I postponed due to the grant - I finally presented this afternoon - the topic was all these paper describing transcrition profiles of the whole genome, I'll blog about the wonderful chaos in the transcription field some time soon)
Yes, Harvard goes open access (the vote was unanimous!)
Read it at the Boston Globe, the Scientist, the Harvard Crimson (again), The NY Times, A Blog Around the Clock, Open Access News (again again), and Effect Measure.

that's great news Alex,
is it for all Harvard schools? included medical?
so peer-reviewed journals will keep track of papers came up from Harvard and allow open access only to them?
How this scheme gonna work? For example in www.cell.com
thanks
I believe that it encompasses all of Harvard. Now as for Elsevier and Cell, I'm not sure how this will all work out. I'm not even sure if and how Elsevier will change their policies to abide by the new legislation as it is clear now that all peer-reviewed research funded by the NIH must be available open access.
