On the HHMI data-sharing and OA policies, including HHMI's March agreement to pay Elsevier for deposits into PubMed Central.
I'd blog an excerpt but HHMI locked the PDF and turned off cutting and pasting. (Why?) For my take on the HHMI-Elsevier agreement, see my article in the April SOAN.

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.
