News from the open access movement
Gates Foundation supports OA journal
The Gates Foundation has given a $900,000 grant to The Future of Children, a peer-reviewed OA journal from Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs and the Brookings Institution. For details, see the Princeton press release.
PS: While the journal offers free online access, and permits reproduction with attribution, it doesn't seem to use the term "open access" anywhere on its web site.
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.
