David Mort, STM Information Market Still Looks Healthy, Research Information, undated but apparently released today. A survey of the financial condition of the STM publishing industry --that doesn't mention open access once. Mort summarizes the findings of The European Online Information Market 2004, a June report from IRN-Research (priced at £600/$1,100). His article is accompanied by a series of invidividual corporate profiles, which are more like press releases written by the companies themselves than independent analyses of their policies and financial health.

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.
