... [W]e took a little look [at the new release of ResearchBlogging.org] at the PLoS HQ and noticed that out of 87 pages of 'all results' there are 8 pages of 'PLoS' results - implying that about 10% of all the [ResearchBlogging.org] posts are on PLoS papers from all seven journals - and of those, 4 pages are just on PLOS ONE papers - which is about 5%. All I can say is w00t! for Open Access - when bloggers can read, bloggers will write.

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.
