David Malakoff previewed the NIH plan in a story broadcast this morning on National Public Radio. Malakoff described the basic problem, the basic solution, and interviewed one supporter (Sharon Terry of the Genetic Alliance) and one critic (Martin Frank of the American Physiological Society).

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.
