... The generous financial support
provided by its sponsors enables MR to provide immediate open access to its
content at no cost to its readers, thus embodying the principle that making re-

Mumbai can have access the content of the journal at the same time and on the
same basis as readers in New York or Nashville or Nacogdoches. Visitors may
view the MR website without registration, but one-time, free user registration
is required in order to complete the login process that is necessary to access the
articles published in the journal. ...

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.
