Clinical Medicine & Research will now be avaiable free online from PubMed Central. For more details, see Matt Conn, National database lists journal from Marshfield Clinic, Wisconsin Rapids Daily Tribune, January 20, 2005. Excerpt: 'Students and researchers worldwide now have free access to a Marshfield Clinic research journal...."By being listed in those databases, your article is now seen by thousands more people," said Deanna Cross, a postdoctoral fellow in the clinic's molecular oncology laboratory. Cross has published research on prostate cancer in Clinical Medicine & Research....To be accepted by PubMed Central, a journal must have three of its editorial board members participating in research funded through major agencies, such as the National Institutes of Health, or the publication must be recognized by at least one other major indexing organization.'

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.
