>> so the nih program requires -- any nih funded projects have to be published publicly within one year of completion. so there's one year where it's -- it can be hidden behind whatever pay wall the publisher has. but after that year they have to release it to the public. and it's public information. >> well, to the extent that we can make research available to people one of the things the computer does for us is allows a lot of researchers not to go down the wrong path. because they see somebody went down that path it didn't work. so in many ways researchers can be much more efficient and therefore much more productive in terms of getting to results that help mankind if they know what other research has been done. now, having said that, it's not a total simplistic answer. there are issues of copyright, intellectual protection, other things where universities have some circumstance specks about what they can or cannot do. and what we don't want to do is discourage research by saying if you do it within 12 months you have to make it public. there are also some other concerns about that.
