Dear all,

 I just wanted to thank Malcolm Campbell for making me aware of the
fact that Dr. Murray-Rust's article that is mentioned in your recent
posts has not been made available to everyone  (i.e access did require
a login/password).  I have discussed this oversight with Phil Campbell
at Nature and he has made it open.  If you go to the article now, it
should be open for you.

I hope you find this helpful.  If there are other articles you need
open in the future, please let me know and I will see what I  can do.

        Higly recommended, in the current issue of Nature
        (http://www.nature.com/nature/journal/v451/n7179/full/451648a.html ):
        Peter Murray-Rust's ambitious and inspiring vision of the future of
        free exchange of, and wide access to scientific information,
        particularly in chemistry. The "emerging world of e-science or
        cyberscholarship" which "seeks to develop the tools, content, and
        social attitudes to support multidisciplinary, collaborative
        science". Many fascinating and promising initiatives are mentioned,
        including Blue Obelisk (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16711717 )

        (http://blueobelisk.org <http://blueobelisk.org/>  ), an
on-line community that encourages

        openness in chemistry, and the Jmol community. The article includes a
        screenshot of Jmol within the CrystalEye resource
        (http://wwmm.ch.cam.ac.uk/crystaleye/ ), which provides open data

        (http://www.opendefinition.org
<http://www.opendefinition.org/> / ) for crystallographic information

        and coordinates on chemical compounds. A number of exciting projects
        are mentioned, including DBpedia, greasemonkey, and the Nature
        Publishing Group-provided discussion forums for open science in the
        virtual reality world Second Life.
