David Ozonoff, The World of Open Access Journals Journal of Urban Health 80, 529-531 (Dec. 2003). (Access restricted to subscribers.) In a literature briefing column, Ozonoff provides summaries of three articles from open access journals. By way of introduction, the writer remarks "the availability of articles to anyone with an Internet connection is an important resource, especially for the developing world." He also notes the referenced articles' availability in PubMedCentral and bids "readers to sample the rich offerings of this new type of journal," while at the same time revealing that he is "Co-Editor in Chief of Environmental Health: An Open Access Science Source."

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.
