Springer offers free access to swine flu research

Springer Science+Business Media is offering all journal articles that deal with the H1N1 virus, or swine flu, free of charge on the Springerlink website.

At the springerlink website, use the search term "H1N1" to find the free articles - a total of 318 will be available to print out or download until Dec. 31, 2009.

The company says that by making the articles available it hopes "to push forward scientific research on the causes, cures, and other facets of this virus."

In June 2009, the WHO raised the worldwide pandemic alert level to Phase 6 indicating that the global spread of the H1N1 virus is underway. More than 70 countries are now reporting cases of human infection with H1N1 flu.
