Lynn Eaton's January 4 article on the Public Library of Science in BMJ is generating a good discussion of open-access issues in the BMJ "rapid response" forum. There are now postings by Douglas Carnall, James Till, Gunther Eysenbach (x 3), Stevan Harnad, and Jan Velterop. The forum is still open for further comments.

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.
