Russell Hotten, Reed Elsevier wards off threats as scientists keep publishing, Times Online, February 20, 2004. Excerpt: "The latest threat to Reed Elsevier comes in the form of 'open access' publishing where scientists or institutions pay for their own publication and make it freely available. If everyone did that Reed Elsevier would have a large hole in its business."

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.
