It's a good start, especially having it available digitally. As b_b stated, 12 months is too long. A lot can change with research over the course of a year. You could be reading a paper published 12 months ago touting a new technology only to find 12 months later from a "new" article that it has been debunked. But this will be very good for people looking to learn about well founded science and technology, and will also be good for the people writing these papers.
