The other day I blogged Adam Hodgkin's argument that OA (after an embargo or moving wall) makes sense for consumer magazines even though they, unlike scholarly journals, pay their authors. Hodgkin's post was part of an excellent series and I want to draw attention to the whole thing:
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.
