Luisa Massarani, Science communication 'is a priority in Peru', SciDev.Net, October 29, 2004. Excerpt: "The president of Peru's main science funding agency, the National Council for Science, Technology and Innovation (CONCYTEC), has called for improved communication to inform people about science and technology and to let them evaluate its relevance to their lives. Benjamín Marticorena made his comments at the 1st Meeting of Science Journalists and Science Communicators in Peru, held on 25 October....Marticorena says science communication in Peru should use as many different tools as possible, including newspapers, radio and television, museums, lectures and conferences." (PS: Open access to Peruvian research should be part of the overall strategy.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
