In the December 31 issue of Evidence in Motion, Deydre Teyhen summarizes an OA article on a 14-year longitudinal study of aerobic exercise. The article was published in BioMed Central's Arthritis Research & Therapy, but Teyhen learned about it from the February 2006 issue of Runner's World. She notes:
It is really exciting to see how open access journals are allowing research to trickle down faster to magazines meant for the general population...Very exciting!
(PS: Exactly.)

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.
