Mark Chillingworth, OUP joins the Open Access bandwagon, Information World Review, July 6, 2004. Excerpt: "A flagship Oxford University Press (OUP) journal is to go open access from January 2005, and it could soon be followed by others. Nucleic Acids Research (NAR) may well be the first of a series of OUP titles to adopt OA, which the publisher is now making strategic moves to explore. 'We believe that OA represents the best way to meet the changing needs of authors and readers,' said Martin Richardson, managing director of Oxford Journals."

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.
