Nicholas R. Cozzarelli, Kenneth R. Fulton, and Diane M. Sullenberger, Lower open access fees and institutional partnerships, PNAS Early Edition, September 21, 2004. (Access restricted to subscribers.) In which it is announced that PNAS will include open access memberships with each institutional site license subscription. Authors from subscribing institutions, therefore, may pay a $750 fee for open access, as opposed to the $1000 OA fee previously imposed. The editors of PNAS state: "Open access publishing is gaining momentum, but we believe that it cannot succeed solely on an author-pays basis; hybrid funding models are still needed."

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.
