The open-access Journal of Research Practice (JRP), is scheduled to launch in early 2005 and seeks research institutions and scholarly associations willing to help support the costs. Current backers include the Center for Science in Society at Bryn Mawr College, the Nokia Research Center in Beijing, the Universidad de Santiago de Chile, and the Xavier Institute of Management in Bhubaneswar, India. For details on the journal and how additional institutions can show their support, see today's announcement from the editors, D.P. Dash and Héctor R. Ponce.

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.
