Improving access to journals in needy countries
The Royal Society of Chemistry is now offering free access for all readers to two new journals, Soft Matter and Molecular BioSystems. It has also made its back catalogue (from 1841) [1] freely available for African users. Meanwhile the American Chemical Society is making its journals available to Iraqi users at a deep discount.
