Hindawi has launched one new OA journal and converted two more TA journals to OA. From today's announcement:
Hindawi Publishing Corporation is pleased to announce the addition of three titles to its growing open access journal collection. The addition of the following three titles brings the total number of journals in Hindawi’s open access collection to 45.
Active and Passive Electronic Components
International Journal of Antennas and Propagation
Physical Separation in Science and Engineering
The International Journal of Antennas and Propagation is a newly launched journal, while Active and Passive Electronic Components and Physical Separation in Science and Engineering were both previously published as subscription-based journals and have been converted to open access. All articles 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.
All back volumes of Active and Passive Electronic Components as well as Physical Separation in Science and Engineering will be made freely available online. Some back volumes are already available, while the remaining volumes are being retro-digitized and will be made freely available as soon as the retro-digitization is complete.
Hindawi expects its open access journal collection to grow to more than 60 titles by the end of 2006 and is planning further expansions in 2007.
Comment. Hindawi is the second largest publisher of OA journals, after BioMed Central, and the world leader in converting TA journals to OA. It's a joy to watch it grow.

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.
