Intaver Institute, developers of the project risk management software RiskyProject and inventors of the project risk analysis process known as Event Chain Methodology, today announced the launch of “Project Risk and Decision Analysis” new online open access journal. "Our new online journal is a unique publication. It focuses on risk and decision analysis processes and methodology, including on quantitative methods and psychology of judgment and decision making in project management” said Ken McKinley, business development manager of Intaver Institute Inc. "We currently have posted eight new white papers and articles related to project risk management methods and tools."
Comment. All the articles published by this journal are unsigned white papers from the Intaver Institute, and peer-review is apparently done in-house by Intaver employees. This doesn't reflect on the quality of the research, which might be impeccable. But it's probably more accurate to say that the intitute is providing OA to its research than to say that it's running a peer-reviewed journal in the usual sense.

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.
