Richard C. Flagan and Philip Hopke, Open access to the Aerosol Science and Technology archive, Aerosol Science and Technology 38(2), iii (2004). Flagan and Hopke announce that their journal will offer an open-access moving wall, in that content older than two years will be freely available on the journal's web site. The following year another volume will be freed up, and so on. Aerosol Science and Technology is published by Taylor and Francis for the American Association for Aerosol Research; the latter evidently negotiated the partial open-access policy, recognizing "that researchers need to share their results with the society that provided the funding to perform the research."

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.
