Frederick Friend, Looking from the Past to the Future, PLoS Biology, January 2004. A review of Roger Schonfeld, JSTOR: A History, Princeton University Press, 2003, drawing lessons from this priced service for the OA movement. Excerpt: "JSTOR's success has encouraged others to develop services that are more in accord with 2003 than 1993. One lesson Roger Schonfeld does not draw out is the pace of change in electronic publishing, and if so much has been achieved since 1993, what promise is held out by the next ten years'!"

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.
