Hindawi now publishes more than 50 OA journals. From today's announcement:
The Hindawi Publishing Corporation is pleased to announce that its open access journal collection has increased to more than 50 titles following the launch of the International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, the International Journal of Navigation and Observation, and Science and Technology of Nuclear Installations. These three new journals will join Hindawi's growing open access collection, which currently includes titles in a wide range of subjects from engineering and mathematics, to biomedicine, chemistry, and materials science.
The launch of these new titles marks the further expansion of open access publishing into new areas of scientific research. "This is the future," explained Ramesh Talreja, Editor-in-Chief of the International Journal of Aerospace Engineering, "the open access concept is particularly timely for the aeronautics and astronautics field." In addition to providing unrestricted access to the full text of all published articles, all of Hindawi's open access journals allow authors to retain the rights to their work, by releasing their articles under a Creative Commons Attribution License.
Following the rapid expansion of Hindawi's open access collection in 2006, during which the collection increased from 12 titles to their current number of 52, we are planning further expansions in 2007. Hindawi is confident that its open access business model is scalable across a wide range of scholarly disciplines.
PS: And by the way, the Hindawi OA journal program is profitable. Kudos to Hindawi on this year-end news.

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.
