PubMed Central adds 7 new BMC titles

Catching up from a spate of end of year independent journal launches at BioMed Central, PubMed Central added seven new titles last week. BMC deposits copies of all of the Open Access journals which they host in independent repositories to ensure the long term availability of the content. A new wrinkle, at least to my knowledge, is that BioMed Central is a participant in the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) initiative. Frontiers in Zoology - Fulltext v1+ (2004+) from BioMed Central | from PubMed Central; ISSN: 1742-9994. Emerging Themes in Epidemiology - Fulltext v1+ (2004+) from BioMed Central | from PubMed Central; ISSN: 1742-7622.

Journal of NeuroEngineering and Rehabilitation - Fulltext v1+ (2004+) from BioMed Central | from PubMed Central; ISSN: 1743-0003. Immunity & Ageing - Fulltext v1+ (2004+) from BioMed Central | from PubMed Central; ISSN: 1742-4933.

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.

Why the OAN volume has been low since January 16, 2010

Why I curtailed my blogging on July 1, 2009

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.
