The University of Alberta has launched getCITED, a "a free, online, member-controlled academic database, directory and discussion forum." Quoting the review by Serials eNews: "An example of an alternative / expanded format for scholarly communications. The web allows much more than the static one-way communication of research results which most e-journals merely replicate from their printed predecessors. This site shows how a research community can expand and develop their range of channels for idea exchange."

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.
