The November issue of Serials is devoted to the Open Archives Initiative. There are 16 relevant papers, but unfortunately and ironically only the table of contents is online. In at least a few cases the authors have archived their papers and there are OA editions. If there are more of these, I'd be glad to publicize the URLs. (Thanks to Steve Hitchcock.)

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.
