  Nature Deabtes: PubMed Central decides to decentralize
The journal articles are supplied to PubMed Central either at the time of publication of the issue, or after a delay of anything from one month to a year or more after publication.
Whether submitted articles are viewable in PubMed Central or not, it is important that they meet a PubMed Central standard for completeness and syntactical correctness so that the integrity of the archive is ensured.
The common PubMed Central DTD means that every article in the archive has its parts (authors, affiliations, major article sections, references, etc.) tagged in exactly the same way, regardless of its source SGML or XML format.

 TAP: Vol 11, Iss. 14. Conversation: Open Science or Junk Science?. Marcia Angell M.D. and Harvey Blume.   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
On his article on PubMed Central, the NIH's new electronic archive of biomedical research, Harvey Blume paints critics like me as quixotically trying to hold back the Internet (he refers to the controversy as "a tale of new technology versus old, of innovation and inertia").
As for Dr. Angell's claim that the unreviewed section of PubMed Central will become a depository for "junk science and promotional material disguised as research," it may simply be too soon to tell how much, if any, truth there is to this charge.
Her argument that Dr. Varmus, by basing PubMed Central on the design of the Los Alamos National Laboratory's physics archive, was mistakenly assuming that doctors (like physicists) are research scientists when they are in fact primarily clinicians, is also well represented in my piece and, in part, incontrovertible.

 PPI: Resource for Research by Kerry Tremain
The project is called PubMed Central, and its premise is disarmingly simple: to bring the widely scattered findings of the world's life science research together under a single electronic roof, searchable by anyone.
By contrast, through PubMed Central, even a scientist in a developing country will be able to present his or her work to the world, and in turn, have access to a vast scientific resource for the cost of a computer and an Internet connection.
The more likely outcome, advocates argue, is that PubMed Central will radically improve physicians' practice by addressing one of the glaring faults in today's health care system: the absence of "best practices" information in the hands of those treating patients.
