While Elsevier is taking its bows, we at Scholarly Exchange have had that model for our wide array of journals for the past two years. It helps reduce the total annual running cost of $750 per journal per year to somewhat less - and for journals in the proper fields, may turn them into - heaven forbid - profit centers!

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.
