The August 25 issue of Open Access Now is now online. This issue features an interview with Martin Sabo, a proposal by Etienne Joly that would simultaneously evaluate the merits of a scientific paper and set the processing fee required for its open access disemination, a note on the proposed WIPO meeting on open-source software and open-access journals (now probably cancelled), a letter from Dave Ozonoff advocating an open-access condition on research grants, and a profile of SPARC. With this issue, OAN also launches the Open Access Now Forum.

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.
