In December 2007, the 3rd Global Knowledge Conference in Malaysia [Kuala Lumpur, December 11-13, 2007] held a series of effective events to promote the Open Access Movement. This report presents the significances of "open access" from the diverse perspectives of the organization, researcher, the funder, and the publisher at the conference.
PS: Also see the conference program and the two panels on OA:
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.
