I just wanted to make you all aware of the fact that the latest issue of the Journal of Manual and Manipulative Therapy has been posted online....For those of you unfamiliar with JMMT, it is the official journal of the American Academy of Orthopaedic Manual Physical Therapists and the Canadian Academy of Manipulative Therapy and it is read worldwide with subscribers in some 40 countries. Our goal is to provide up-to-date, evidence-based, clinically relevant information in the area of orthopaedic manual therapy....
Since I have become the Editor-in-Chief, we have also increased our open access and open access, online-only content in an effort to disseminate the material published even wider and quicker.
Open access material in the latest issue includes the abstracts for the upcoming AAOMPT conference, a great guest editorial by Dr. Gwen Jull on cervicogenic headache diagnosis, a case report by Paul Glynn and Josh Cleland on the evidence-based management of a patient with neck and upper extremity complaints with online video supplements, a research article by Oostendorp et al discussing possible characteristics of subpopulations of patients with so-called non-specific low back pain, and a case report by Schenk et al on management of a patient with cervicogenic dizziness. The subscriber-only content is equally interesting and --in my admittedly biased opinion-- well worth a subscription to the Journal.

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.
