Nicholas R. Cozzarelli, UPSIDE: Uniform Principle for Sharing Integral Data and Materials Expeditiously, Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences 101(11), 3721-3722 (March 16, 2004). (Access restricted to subscribers.) A PNAS editorial states the journal's policy for authors providing open access to data by depositing it in an appropriate disciplinary repository, such as the Protein Data Bank, GenBank or the fMRI data center. Their policy has been in line with principles articulated in a recent National Academies study referred to as the Cech report, "termed 'UPSIDE,' or the 'uniform principle for sharing integral data and materials expeditiously.'"

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.
