I find it revolting that work that clearly is supported by the Portuguese tax-payers is not available to them for free (I'm a German tax-payer, so in theory I should also get free access, since I end up paying, but I digress :) ).
All this work is done by researchers in the Institute of Molecular Pathology and Immunology of the University of Porto (IPATIMUP), and none of their work is available from their website.. I hate the fact that science publishers make money every other way: the science is paid by the institutions, when an article is accepted the authors need to pay several thousand euros to have it published, the peer reviewers all work for free, and in the end the subscription to the journal costs a small fortune. In that sense, the recent statement by the Bill Gates foundation that all work sponsored by them should be freely available, should be followed by the Portuguese Goverment. João C.
