News from the open access movement

Thursday, March 02, 2006

Three new independent, Open Access journals debuted early this week, hosted by BioMed Central, bringing the total of such titles to 85.

Algorithms for Molecular Biology - Fulltext v1+ (2006+); ISSN: 1748-7188.

Orphanet Journal of Rare Diseases - Fulltext v1+ (2006+); ISSN: 1750-1172.

Radiation Oncology - Fulltext v1+ (2006+); ISSN: 1748-717X.

In the near term, all three titles will be mirrored at PubMed Central, one of the international sites which provide mirror and archive services for Open Access content from BioMed Central. Other such repositories include the e-Depot of Koninklijke Bibliotheek (KB), the National Library of the Netherlands, Potsdam University in Germany, and INIST in France. BioMed Central is also a participant in LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keeps Stuff Safe).

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.

Why I curtailed my blogging on July 1, 2009

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.
