If you remember, Science and Nature are not accepting submissions created by Microsoft Word 2007. Now Howard Ratner reports on Nature’s blog, Nascent, that Microsoft is meeting with scientific publishers to discuss “how Microsoft, third-party vendors and publishers can work together...to make Word 2007 work within the STM publishing ecosystem.”

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.
