Swets Information Services has started to include BioMed Central's OA journals in its collection. Quoting Natasha Robshaw, head of BioMed Central's Marketing and Sales department, in yesterday's press release: "We are delighted that our journals will now be included in SwetsWise Online Content. Though our research content is freely available from our website, PubMed Central and other archives, this will provide Swets' subscribers with an easy way to find and download relevant research in our journals." (PS: The press release is new, but we blogged essentially the same news on February 12, 2004.)

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.
