Freeing Information: Is it Time to Make Peer Reviewed Research Free? is the title of an article by Lee Dye on ABCNews.com. "A few leading scientists are asking a simple question that could have a profound impact on how information about scientific research is disseminated. Here's the question: Why shouldn't scientific research be available to anyone anywhere in the world, free of charge?". The article goes on to talk about converting journals to free electronic dissemination, but unfortunately doesn't mention the possibility of self-archiving.

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.
