Today BioMed Central launched Open Access Now, a newsletter to appear twice a month on open-access publishing. Open Access Now is edited by Jonathan B Weitzman and will feature interviews with important players in the open-access movement and news from our own Open Access News blog. The inaugural issue interviews Gerry Rubin of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute, a moving force behind the Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing. A print edition of the newsletter will be distributed with The Scientist. BMC invites comments and feedback on its new venture at openaccess [at] biomedcentral.com. Welcome Open Access Now!

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.
