How should chemists respond to open access publishing?
The three respondents qualified their responses noting a suspected potential for lower standards and, most commonly, how to achieve a high level of editing, review and presentation while attempts are made to lower the cost of distribution.

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.
