The Open Marine Archive gives free access to the digital collection of the work of Flemish/Belgian marine researchers. It holds peer-reviewed articles, pre-prints, locally published articles, press releases, reports, symposium contributions, presentations, scientific posters, theses, photos, videos, etc.
The purpose of OMA is to give immediate, permanent and free access to published and non-published research results of Flemish/Belgian marine scientists. This enhances the visibility, distribution and use of these results, and it supports a much better scientific communication.
This initiative will only be successful with the active support of the marine research community. Each Flemish/Belgian marine scientist is invited to contribute to this digital marine archive and to post their own publications....

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.
