The other day I asked for help in locating the editorial in The Lancet on Ronald LaPorte's argument for replacing scientific journal articles with free online powerpoint presentations. See David Sharp, Two P's Better Than One? Ronald LaPorte is at it again, The Lancet, 360, 9350 (December 21, 2002). Unfortunately, not even an abstract is free online. (Thanks to David Mackinder.)

The open access movement:
Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
I recommend the OA tracking project (OATP) as the best way to stay on top of new OA developments. You can read the OATP feed on a blog-like web page or subscribe to it by RSS, email, or Twitter. You can also help build the feed by tagging new developments you encounter.
