Alorie Gilbert, Traffic overwhelms new online science journal, News.com, October 14, 2003. Excerpt: "Not surprisingly, the free distribution model seems be going over well. Within the first eight hours of the journal's launch [PLoS Biology], traffic on the site spiked to more than half a million hits."

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.
