Shibboleths is a new peer-reviewed, open-access journal of philosophy and theory, especially in Caribbean culture. The inaugural issue (September 2006) is now online. From the site:
We welcome submissions that seek to trace the history of these fields (including discussions of particular philosophers or theorists, specific phases and periods, and schools of thought), explore their development in particular socio-cultural contexts (e.g. African as opposed to Asian thought), and examine particular topics, problems or issues of interest to philosophers and theorists....
Though not exclusively Caribbean in focus, attempts to theorise the Caribbean, theories by Caribbean thinkers, and efforts to situate Caribbean thought within a wider socio-historical and intellectual context inevitably form an important part of what we do, given the roots of many of us involved in this project, and are particularly welcome.

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.
