Hindawi Publishing has launched the International Journal of Biomedical Imaging (IJBI), its seventh peer-reviewed, open-access journal. From today's press release: 'The scope of the journal covers data acquisition, image reconstruction, and image analysis, involving theories, methods, systems, and applications....The journal will use an open access business model based on Article Processing Charges, which are to be paid from the research budgets of accepted authors. Authors will be charged €100/page for pages 7 and up (there are no mandatory page charges for the first 6 pages) with a maximum of €800. The journal shall have an online edition, which is freely available with no subscription or registration barriers, and a print edition, which shall be priced at a level that simply covers the costs of printing and distribution. All articles published in this journal shall be distributed under the "Creative Commons Attribution License," which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited....Hindawi is planning to launch several more open access journals in the next few months.'

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.
