In a blog post yesterday, Gabi Reinmann laments that more and more journals in the field of education are following the Ingelfinger rule, that is, refusing to consider submissions which have been self-archived as preprints. (Thanks to Klaus Graf.) Read it in German or Google's English.

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.
