England's National Health Service (NHS) has launched the open-access NHS Trusts Clinical Trials Register, which assigns a unique International Standard Randomised Controlled Trial Number (ISRCTN) to each randomized, controlled trial funded by the NHS. The ISRCTN will help researchers track the publications that result from a given trial. For more detail, see yesterday's press release.

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.
