Stevan Harnad, Confirming the Within-Journal OA Impact Advantage, Open Access Archivangelism, May 18, 2006. A reply to Gunther Eysenbach's reply to Stevan's review of Eysenbach's article in PLoS Biology. There aren't too many layers of this dialog to follow, but there are too many for me to excerpt the latest one without omitting key points or quoting at great length. I hope you'll read it all first-hand.

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.
