In January 2005, the Indian MEDLARS Centre in New Delhi will launch IndMED, an open-access, OAI-compliant repository for biomedical research. It will host not only Indian research, but research from any scientists around the world who do not have local institutional repositories. The MEDLARS Centre and the new repository are funded by the government of India. (Thanks to Naina Pandita on the AmSci OA list.)

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.
