Robert Bovenschulte, Open Access: Early Stages of Clinical Trials (powerpoint), ACS 228th National Meeting Philadelphia, PA, Chemical Information Division, August 23, 2004. Robert Bovenschulte of the ACS Publications Division presents on open acces at the recent ACS meeting, speaking in general terms about current trends in OA and comparing OA experiments to "clinical trials." The ACS has "no position" on OA and is taking a "watchful approach." While OA "experiments are to be welcomed," the speaker expresses uncertainty whether it is a solution for all parties, especially scientific society publishers. Bovenschulte remarks that ACS intends to "carefully evaluate what works and doesn’t work before trying to change the world." (Source: ACS Livewire)

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.
