Tomas Lund?n, Publishing in Open Archives, Open Access Information, June 15, 2008. Nothing new here for readers of OAN, but it's a useful overview for others. If you suggest it to colleagues who are new to the topic, follow up with Stevan Harnad's Self-Archiving FAQ.
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.
