Hindawi Publishing Corporation is pleased to announce the launch of ten new journal titles, which will join the company's rapidly expanding collection of open access journals. The addition of the following journals marks the further growth of Hindawi's publishing program in two of its core areas, engineering and biomedicine:
Advances in Acoustics and Vibration
Advances in Human-Computer Interaction
Advances in Pharmacological Sciences
Advances in Urology
Dermatology Research and Practice
Distributed Information Systems
Gastroenterology Research and Practice
International Journal of Plasma Science and Engineering
International Journal of Reacting Systems
Journal of Artificial Evolution and Applications
Accepted articles in these journals shall be made immediately available online under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits the unrestricted use of all published material provided that it is properly cited, and will go through a thorough in-house production process, including markup, copy editing, and reference linking.
"With every journal added to one of our existing OA subject collections, the whole collection benefits from increased visibility in the scientific community," commented Nagwa Abdel-Mottaleb, co-founder and VP of Hindawi. "This is especially true for engineering, where we have almost 30 OA journals and expect to grow to over 50 by end of 2007."
Comment. This may be the largest group of OA journals ever launched by one publisher at one time. Kudos to Hindawi for continuing to expand the OA universe.
Update. Matt Cockerill has reminded me that BioMed Central launched its series of OA journals with 57 titles in May 2000. I gladly post the correction.

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.
