The Electronic Journal of Boundary Elements (EJBE) is available online. The journal publishes fully reviewed papers dealing with all aspects of the Boundary Element Method (BEM), also known as the Boundary Integral Equation Method (BIE). Subscription to the electronic form of the journal is free of charge.
This journal is published by the Rutgers University Libraries using an open source framework developed from components of the Open Journal System, a part of the Public Knowledge Project at the University of British Columbia and the FEDORA (Flexible Extensible Digital Object Repository Architecture) Project.
Why are the Rutgers University Libraries undertaking this new role? First, academic libraries like those at Rutgers understand fully that the current model for the dissemination of scholarship cannot be sustained. Second, the mission and roles of the academic library are being transformed through the application of technology, and that technology can be used to transform the process of publication. Third, journal publishing complements the Libraries' key role in supporting scholarship within the academy. Finally, the Libraries have a traditional role in the preservation of scholarly materials, and they can offer the continuity and perpetual access to digital materials that cannot be readily matched by other sources.
Electronic Journal of Boundary Elements - Fulltext v1+ (2003+); ISSN: 1542-3891.

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.
