SciELO (Scientific Electronic Library Online) has assisted three more established print journals with the transition to Open Access online editions. The disparate subjects of the journals illustrates the breadth of content available through SciELO. Two titles are in Spanish and originate in Chile, the third is in Portuguese and is from Brazil. The Brazilian journal is in the area of sanitary engineering, while the Chilean titles are a wood science journal and a major literary review. La Revista Chilena de Literatura is indexed in MLA Bibliography and Arts & Humanities Citation Index.
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.
