The number of sociology and interdisciplinary open access journals and newsletters continues to grow in 2007. The Urban Theory and Research (UTR) Study Group of the British Sociological Association have just launched their Newsletter The Word, available in pdf format. Medical Sociology News (MSN) has now been replaced by Medical Sociology Online (MSo) and the first issue of this free access British Sociological Association publication is now available.
Wikis are a new social science resource. January this year saw the launch of Critical Realism Wiki. It incorporates feeds from online activities relating to the subject as well as reference and event information.
Intute: Sociology provides a list of the best open access publications. Filter your search by the resource type “Journals- full-text” under each of the browse headings.

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.
