Georg Siebeck, Freibier für Wissenschaft?Börsenblatt, October 21, 2004. Another critique of OA based entirely on misunderstandings --e.g. that OA is only justified if there is a dark conspiracy among publishers to limit access, that OA journals compromise on peer review, that the current system is working well, and that OA advocates think publishing is costless. (Thanks to Klaus Graf.)

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.
