Blackwell is providing free online access to every article in the inaugural issue of its new journal, Integrative Zoology. (Thanks to GrrlScientist.) But nothing in the issue's editorial or at the journal web site suggests that the journal is OA, and it's not likely that a Blackwell Online Open hybrid journal would get 100% uptake, especially for its first issue. I'd think this was just a way to market the first issue of a new journal, but I haven't seen any publicity to build on it. Does anyone know what's going on?

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.
