More on Alf Eaton's Perl script for reference linking the BMC XML files....I just asked him whether he'd share his Perl script with others who might want to use it on other collections or adapt it to other metadata schemes. His reply: "Absolutely - the Perl script that adds citation data to HubMed is easy to adapt to any XML file or database that includes the PubMed ID numbers of cited articles. Anyone can send me their data files, or I'd be happy to work with publishers to get their citation data added to HubMed, if they'd prefer to run the script at their end."

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.
