Can't stem progress
Article Abstract:
An analysis of the potential benefits of stem-cell research and how the UK could benefit from the impact that public opinion has had on stem-cell research in the United States, which had, until 2001, been regarded as the world leader in such research. It is argued that the recent decision by the UK government to increase investment in innovation and science could be good news for stem-cell research and could place the UK at the centre of a revolution as important as the industrial or silicon revolutions.

...believe that all UK research output should be online
Article Abstract:
Issues relating to the contention that the results of all research conducted in the United Kingdom should be put online for everybody to access are examined. It is argued that by placing all research online, the real value of the work can be more accurately assessed through the use of webmetric impact indicators, such as those used by search engines such as Google, which would show how often a piece of work had been accessed and downloaded.
