The October 4 issue of Open Access Now is now online. This issue features an interview with Sharon Terry on OA for patients, patient families, and patient-advocacy organizations, a news story on the new OA journal from NPG/EMBP, another news story on the medical editors' call for OA to drug trial data, a commentary by Jan Velterop and Matthew Cockerill on the NEJM editorial endorsing the NIH OA plan with the qualification that journals should hold copyrights, and a call to readers to submit their comments on the NIH OA plan before November 16.

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.
