Hindawi is pleased to announce the launch of a new "Research Letters" series of journals, which will be published using an open access publication model. The new series will be devoted to publishing short, high-quality manuscripts in broad fields of science. Manuscripts published in these journals shall generally be four pages or less in their final published form.
The series will start with the following titles:
Research Letters in Biochemistry
Research Letters in Chemical Engineering
Research Letters in Communications
Research Letters in Ecology
Research Letters in Electronics
Research Letters in Inorganic Chemistry
Research Letters in Materials Science
Research Letters in Nanotechnology
Research Letters in Organic Chemistry
Research Letters in Physical Chemistry
Research Letters in Physics
Research Letters in Signal Processing
Further titles will be announced in the next few months. All journals will be funded with "Article Processing Charges" of Euros 400 per accepted manuscript. Accepted manuscripts shall be published using the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.
"The editorial workflow of this series of journals will emphasize the high-quality and fast turn-around requirements," says Mohamed Hamdy, Hindawi's Editorial Manager....
PS: A dozen new OA journals in one announcement. This is a sign of momentum.

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.
