Jim Rosack, Leading Medical Journals Toughen Requirements for Publication, Psychiatric News 39(20), 2, October 15, 2004. Excerpt: "In a bold undertaking, the editors of some of the world's most prestigious peer-reviewed medical journals announced in September that they will 'require, as a condition of consideration for publication, registration in a public trials registry' for all articles written about clinical trials ... The group of 11 editors, known as the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), said that for any clinical trial that starts enrollment after July 1, 2005, the trial must register "at or before the onset of patient enrollment."

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.
