    An article by Richard Wray:

    ``The Royal Society, Britain's national academy of science, yesterday joined the debate about so-called open access to scientific research, warning that making research freely available on the internet as it is published in scientific journals could harm scientific debate.

    ``The Royal Society fears it could lead to the demise of journals published by not-for-profit societies, which put out about a third of all journals. `Funders should remember that the primary aims should be to improve the exchange of knowledge between researchers and wider society,' The Royal Society said.''
