There's a sponsored news item in BreastCancer.Net which announces that The Lancet Oncology has issued a call for papers. Beginning in May 2005, the journal will begin publishing original research in any areas of clinical or translational oncology that have the potential to substantially improve clinical practice. Articles judged eligible will be peer reviewed within 72 hours and, if accepted, published in 4-8 weeks. All accepted papers will be published online before appearing in the print journal. The Info for Authors includes, at the bottom of the page, a section on "Open access": "The Lancet Oncology is committed to support authors in making their research publicly and freely available. The editors encourage authors to post a Word-processed document of their peer-reviewed, accepted, and edited article on their personal or institutional websites anytime after publication in print or online. Your document should indicate the article's citation and a link to The Lancet Oncology's homepage. Posting a PDF copy of the published version of an article can only be done with prior written permission from Elsevier Ltd".

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.
