The Calicut Medical College in Karala, India, has launched a portal for its three OA journals. Two of the journals --the Calicut Medical Journal and the Journal of Orthopaedics-- are several years old but were not previously showcased together at a single portal. The third, Pulmon: The Journal of Respiratory Sciences, is a recent convert from toll-access. Soon its back issues will be OA at the new portal. Dr. Johnson Francis, Associate Professor of Cardiology at Calicut, tells me that the school plans to convert two other non-OA journals to OA shortly and add them to the portal. (Kudos to Calicut!)

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.
