Raymond Snoddy, Publisher's profits come with a blurb of warning, Times Online, February 20, 2004. Excerpt: Elsevier CEO Crispin Davis "sought to calm fears that academic journal prices could be weakened by 'open access' publication whereby scientists pay to publish their papers and then make them freely available."

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.
