[Insight-users] OPEN ACCESS: NIH POLICY EFFECTIVE : Monday April 7 2008

[Torsten Rohlfing]

Hi Luis and everyone:

While this is being raised, I would like to ask a question that at least 
I cannot find answered anywhere in the information provided by the NIH.

  What exactly is an "article"?

The NIH FAQ seems to use the terms "peer-reviewed article" and "journal 
paper" interchangeably, but they are not the same (conference papers are 
often peer reviewed as well). SO what exactly does the policy apply to?

Maybe someone enlightened can shine some light on this for me.

Thanks!
  Torsten
