Rachel Stevenson gives today's market report: "Reed Elsevier, the publisher, also saw its shares slip 5.5p to 504p, after news that it will come under pressure to allow the authors of its scientific journals to make their work freely available."

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.
