...[Kevin Casey, Harvard’s director of federal and state relations] noted that several journals already have such time-lag policies [permitting OA even sooner than the 12 months permitted by the NIH policy].
The New England Journal of Medicine, based in Waltham, Mass., has been allowing articles that are more than six months old to be freely accessible to the public in full since 2001, according to Jennifer Zeis, a journal spokeswoman.
“The new policies do not impact our current model, and they haven’t changed anything for us,” she wrote in an e-mail.

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.
