I would have to check, but I believe that all of the 30+ Australian universities are already signed up to open access of research data through the Australian National Data Service (ANDS) project. Details need to resolved and open access of research data is not fully implemented, but it is a long way ahead of scholarly published text. I would be surprised if the UK and the USA were much different. Let’s take the apples in our reach while we continue to struggle to pick the high ones on the top branches.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Software is only different because the potential profit symbol winks mesmerizingly but deceptively into the eyes of universities.
