NASA’s new online archive is a treasure trove of free research articles: NASA launched a free online archive for science journal articles that were funded by the space agency. The archive, which was announced this week, is called PubSpace, and it will make available research and data that are often hidden behind the subscriptions and paywalls of scientific journals.

How toxic is lunar dust? Does spaceflight alter human hair follicles? How much radiation would it take to kill astronauts on Mars? What has the Kepler Mission found? What are the requirements for life on exoplanets? Would a dried plum diet protect astronauts from from bone loss?

Sounds like they're just adopting the same policy (and website) that NIH has been using for the last eight years. Good for them.

This is great. (On preview, I see that b1tr0t and I agree.)

Even though, in the short term, it mostly means we now have to submit stuff to three different places, each with their own quirks. And even though it doesn't cover non-peer reviewed proceedings, which are the only papers with NASA support that I've ever actually had trouble accessing. (I'm looking at you, SPIE.) But, still, this is great.
