ePlasty is a new peer-reviewed, no-fee OA journal of plastic surgery. It's a redesigned, renamed successor to the Journal of Burns and Wounds, whose seven-year backfile is being converted to OA for hosting at the ePlasty web site. ePlasty avoids publication fees because all its expenses are covered by grants and industry sponsors.

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.
