I just mailed the February issue of the SPARC Open Access Newsletter. This issue takes a close look at open access mandates adopted or revealed in January, with special attention to those from the European Research Council and the US National Institutes of Health. The round-up section briefly notes 118 OA developments from January.

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.
