The Mars Journal is a new peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by Mars Informatics and funded (for its first three years) by NASA. It is now open for submissions. From the web site: 'Open access journals allow users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of published papers at no charge, and without the need to register. Open access allows authors can retain copyright to their original work, while enjoying the widest possible access to their papers by other researchers, and the public at large. Open access scholarly journals are becoming established in many fields, and are part of a growing movement toward public access to publicly funded research.'

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.
