ACS imposes moratorium on some foreign papers, Chemical and Engineering News, November 25, 2003, p. 25 (accessible only to subscribers). An unsigned note reporting that the American Chemical Society (ACS) is following the IEEE in imposing "a moratorium on publishing journal articles that are written by authors in Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Libya, or Sudan." The moratorium may be "temporary", however, because the ACS is applying for a license from the Treasury Department permitting it to publish articles by authors from embargoed nations.

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.
