Autism Speaks, the nation's largest autism advocacy organization, has announced that all researchers who receive an Autism Speaks grant will be required to deposit any resulting peer-reviewed research papers in the PubMed Central online archive, making the articles available to the public within 12 months of journal publication. This policy makes the result of their research freely and easily accessible to individuals with autism, families and other advocates, as well as interested researchers. Autism Speaks is the first U.S.-based nonprofit advocacy organization to institute this public access requirement.
