Yesterday was the last day of Global PR Blog Week 1.0 (July 12-16). In summarizing the discussions and activities of the week, Constantin Basturea blogged a note in which he wonders how the success of the OA movement will change life for PR professionals. Part of the "New PR", he argues, will be ask authors (both scholarly and non-scholarly authors, apparently) to provide OA to their articles through self-archiving.

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.
