PS: It looks like German publishers are raising the familiar objection that an OA mandate for publicly-funded research will undercut publisher revenues. But my German and Google's English are not strong enough for me to know for sure. I'd be grateful if bilingual readers could shed light on problem in our forum.

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.
