Comment. The clear implication is that the RePEC copies will be free or OA, but the announcement is not explicit on that point. This is the first time to my knowledge that a book publisher will routinely deposit its new publications in an OA repository or decentralized repository network. The announcement says nothing about publications outside economics and nothing about depositing new publications in the Potsdam IR.

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.
