Emerald has launched the Literari Club to help journal editors and authors improve their English. Quoting John Peters, director of Emerald: "It is a chronic waste of research, if papers fail to get the consideration they deserve because of poorly written English."
(PS: Good point. I'd add that it's a chronic waste of research, if papers fail to reach the readers who need them because of prohibitive price and licensing barriers.)

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.
