Lynne Herndon, President and CEO of Cell Press, has posted a message to the discussion groups most active in discussing the boycott, explaining the position of Elsevier and Cell Press. Excerpt: "Cell Press, while owned by Elsevier, has a different pricing model from
ScienceDirect, the Elsevier electronic access platform. We have
intentionally not bundled Cell Press journals with ScienceDirect to give
institutions maximal flexibility in their choice of content."

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.
