TGE Adonis is launching a study to evaluate French publishing in the social sciences and humanities. (Thanks to the INIST Libre Accès blog.)
The goal is to identify indicators to measure the impact of OA policies, especially for publicly-funded research. Read yesterday's announcement in French or in Google's English.

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.
