Helene Bosc, Convenor of the Science Publishing Working Group for Euroscience, has issued a call for additional learned societies to join the working group. From her message: 'The goal of our working group is to help in finding answers to some of the numerous questions raised by the evolution of scientific communication by internet and which are confronted by scientists. Some of these questions have been discussed during the ESOF 2004 symposium held at Stockholm and as announced, the ESOF 2006 symposium will be a follow up....Two representatives of learned societies have joined us. However our small team would welcome additional members. It seems essential that scientists, totally involved in laboratory activities, could express their opinion. If you are interested in discussing these issues (essentially by e-mail) we would be pleased to have you join us.'

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.
