The Calicut Medical Journal .The Calicut Medical College Alumni Association, one of the strongest Medical School Alumni Associations in India has announced that it would publish an open access Medical Journal.The Journal would be the second Online Open Access Medical Journal from India[after OJHAS ]. It is envisaged to become the premier Open Access Biomedical Journal. Inaugural issue debuts October 2003.It seems that Indians are all set to capitalise on the Open Access oppurtunity.It should be a role model for journals from the developing world to join the bandwagon and reap maximum benefits of the new wave.

Removing the barriers to serious research.
