On Mon, 15 Jul 2002, Stevan Harnad wrote [in part, in response to a
question from Ingemar Bohlin]:

What I found, by searching Science magazine (via:
http://www.sciencemag.org/search.dtl) for editorials by Donald Kennedy,
were (in addition to the editorial referred to be Stevan):

http://www.sciencemag.org/cgi/content/summary/295/5552/13
Another Year for Science,
Donald Kennedy,
Science 2002 January 4; 295: 13

An excerpt:

"We made the decision last year, as a service to the scientific community,
to release the full content of our Reports and Research Articles after 12
months on Science Online."

Science and Development,
Donald Kennedy,
Science 2001 December 7; 294: 2053

An excerpt:

"SciDev.Net is the brainchild of David Dickson, a former editor at Nature.
Science is delighted to be a full partner with Nature in this venture; for
the right cause, competitors can work together! The site, now up at
www.scidev.net, will have timely science news, several reports or short
items from Science and Nature each week, opinion features, and information
about meetings, grants, and jobs. The emphasis, obviously, will be on
material relevant to the developing world. Science normally makes papers
freely available on our Web site 1 year after publication; we will be
making this selected material available immediately. Regional gateways
will allow SciDev.Net to tailor some information to particular settings
and circumstances."

Please note the sentence: "Science normally makes papers freely available
on our Web site 1 year after publication".

I tried to find something similar in Nature using the search engine (at:
http://www.nature.com/dynasearch/app/dynasearch.taf?site_source=nature),
but wasn't successful.
