Peter Murray-Rust has been writing some very good blog posts very fast. Because they’re directly about OA, and good, I want blog excerpts here. But because they’re numerous, and I’m already overloaded, I can’t keep up with them. So with apologies to all for my lateness and brevity, here are some quick pointers to some of his recent posts on (1) open data and (2) access barriers left in place at “free”, “open”, and “hybrid” journals.
In short, if you follow my blog, you should also follow his. There are many other blogs in this category, but —so far— I’ve been able to keep up with them.

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.
