The September 7, 2002 issue of BMJ (an open-access journal) includes a notice about Submitting articles to the BMJ. Authors are invited to try a Manuscript Processing System that uses HighWire Press's BenchPress, where authors can deposit their manuscripts and editors can read them and record their decisions. Reviewers' details are also held on the system, which is protected by passwords.

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.
