In my mind, a free introductory offer to a journal doesn't amount to open access, even brief open access. But what about six months of free access? Is that a long introductory offer or an experiment with open access? You decide. The American Geophysical Union will launch Space Weather next week (October 28), and make it freely available online for the first six months of its existence.

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.
