Peter Jacsó's annual Cheers and Jeers column for Information Today, reviewing the information highlights of the previous year, is devoted this year to linking initiatives and disasters. He singles out PubMed, PubMed Central, and BioMed Central for praise, the latter two "for digitizing entire runs of much respected journals, making them freely accessible by anyone and easily linkable as you can see in the PDF and/or HTML archive of the Bulletin of the Medical Library Association (from 1911), or in the 1994-2000 issues of the Journal of the American Medical Informatics Association...."

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.
