As I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, the European Geophysical Union (EGU) and Copernicus Gesellschaft are launching another pair of Open Access journals, Ocean Science and Ocean Science Discussions. The journals now have a website and ISSNs. Executive Editors David Webb and John Johnson and their editorial board are ready to accept submissions.
Ocean Science covers the following fields:
* Ocean Physics (i.e. ocean structure, circulation, tides and internal waves)
* Ocean Chemistry
* Biological Oceanography
* Air-Sea Interactions
* Ocean Models, physical, chemical and biological and biochemical
* Coastal and shelf edge processes
* Paleooceanography
Ocean Science Discussions - Forthcoming; Print ISSN: 1812-0806 | Online ISSN: 1812-0822.
Ocean Science - Forthcoming; Print ISSN: 1812-0784 | Online ISSN: 1812-0792.

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.
