The November 3 issue of Open Access Now is now online. This issue contains an editorial on the PLoS Biology launch, an interview with Martin Richardson on the Oxford University Press experiment with open access, a news story on the Wellcome Trust commitment to open access, an interview with Michael Costigan of Harvard Medical School on why he publishes in OA journals (and BMC journals in particular), and a profile of the SHERPA project.

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.
