Dan Milmo, Reed expects US recovery to lift business division, The Guardian, April 29, 2004. At a shareholders' meeting yesterday, Elsevier executives projected rising revenues in their trade publications division, due to anticipated economic improvement in the US, among other factors. The article also reports: " Reed said subscription renewals at its largest division, science and medical, were strong despite pressure on academic library budgets. The group has brushed off the threat of open access publishing, where academic institutions and companies do not have to pay to download journals from the internet."

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.
