An editorial in the BMJ predicts the rapid achievement of the dream of open access to scientific research. Rapid responses to the editorial include one from Richard Horton, editor of the Lancet, which is now fully digitized, though not open access.

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.
