Logical Methods in Computer Science is launched

Logical Methods in Computer Science (LMCS) was first announced in the wake of the departure of the editorial board of the Journal of Algorithms (JoA) at the end of 2003. The editors of JoA have gone on to establish ACM Transactions on Algorithms, the first issue of which is expected soon. LMCS "... is a fully refereed, open access, free, electronic journal. It welcomes papers on theoretical and practical areas in computer science involving logical methods, taken in a broad sense...." LMCS is an overlay journal of the Computing Research Repository (CoRR) which is a part of arXiv.org. Overlay journals use as the basis for article submission the e-prints/preprints deposited in disciplinary repositories. Advances in Theoretical and Mathematical Physics (ATMP) has been operating under this model since 1997. Logical Methods in Computer Science - Fulltext v1+ (2005+); ISSN: application pending.

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.
