Sandy Serva, Free For All? The Science of Publishing Research Online, EContent, June 11, 2004. Quoting Martin Frank, spokesman for the DC Principles and executive director of the American Physiological Society: "The question we are dealing with in this environment [society publishing] is whether publications should be free to the public immediately or free after a transition interval."

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.
