Declan,
I track this issue, among others, in my newsletter
<http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/newsletter/archive.htm> and blog
<http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/fosblog.html> on open access to science
and scholarship. In the newsletter issue that mailed this morning, I
listed the following articles and news developments from the past month
alone, in rough chronological order. In each case, the first URL is for
the source and the second for the blog posting about it.Potter Wickware, US pressures publishers to honor trade embargoes , Nature Medicine, February 2004. http://www.nature.com/cgi-taf/DynaPage.taf?file=/nm/journal/v10/n2/full/nm0204-109a.html http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2004_02_01_fosblogarchive.html#a107592341906777460
Also see the editorial, Trading Scientific Freedom, in the same issue of Nature Medicine. http://www.nature.com/cgi-taf/DynaPage.taf?file=/nm/journal/v10/n2/full/nm0204-107a.html http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2004_02_01_fosblogarchive.html#a107592341906777460
The AAP Professional and Scholarly Publishers Division (PSP) released a public letter criticizing the U.S. Treasury Department for applying trade embargoes to scientific publications. http://www.pspcentral.org/committees/executive/OFAC_background.doc http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2004_02_08_fosblogarchive.html#a107679236529521931
On February 9, at the invitation of the IEEE, David Mills addressed a "summit" of scholarly publishers on the intersection of U.S. trade law and freedom of the press. Mills is the Treasury Department official in charge of licensing U.S. journals to edit articles by citizens of Cuba, Iran, Libya, Sudan, and other embargoed nations. http://www.ieee.org/portal/index.jsp?pageID=corp_level1&path=about&file=summitnewsrelease.xml&xsl=generic.xsl http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/2004_02_15_fosblogarchive.html#a107697302061955777
