The April issue of PLoS Biology contains correspondence entitled Avoiding URL Reference Degradation in Scientific Publications. The correspondence is about possible use of the Internet Archive as a way to archive a Web site an author has cited. The response from PLoS points out some drawbacks to this approach, but encourages "further input on this issue from the scientific and medical community".

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.
