The UK Office of Fair Trading reported on The Market for Scientific, Technical and Medical Journals in 2002. I don't think the report has been posted to this list before now. It contains some useful facts about the STM market in the UK, and acknowledges the role of alternative models for scholarly publishing.

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.
