Gate Foundation to offer support research publications open access through AAAS Science - February 14, 2017

From SPARC (Feburary 14, 2017)

The Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation announced an arrangement with the AAAS  to offer an open access option for the journal Science that is in full compliance with the Gates Foundation’s open access policy

Here’s the official announcement: 

http://www.sciencemag.org/about/aaas-and-gates-foundation-partnership-announcement.  

This should provide a strong impetus for other journals at this level (Nature, NEJM, etc.) to follow suit; they will be in a very difficult position if they are outliers in not providing an Open Access option for Gates Foundation funded research. 

Also: the Chief Operating Officer of the Gates Foundation published a very nice blog on this topic 

on Medium today as well - well worth the read!

Official Gazettes & Civil Society Documentation - February 1, 2017

A collection of official gazettes and other key historical government documentation from countries where the integrity of the public record is known to be at risk. CRL’s open web repository promotes transparency and accountability by providing a permanent public record of government documentation that defines the rights and obligations of citizens and records the activities of government. CRL is digitizing official gazettes from its extensive collection of print and microfilm, and will augment these materials by harvesting from the web more recent gazettes and related data published digitally.
