Catherine A. Ball and 18 co-authors, Submission of Microarray Data to Public Repositories, PLoS Biology, September 2004. Excerpt: "A fundamental principle guiding the publication of scientific results is that the data supporting any scholarly work must be made fully available to the research community, in a form that allows the basic conclusions to be evaluated independently....[W]e, members of the Microarray Gene Expression Data Society (MGED), believe that all scholarly scientific journals should now require the submission of microarray data to public repositories as part of the process of publication."

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.
