JISC has noted the publisher pushback (1, 2) against John Houghton's January report on the economic impact of OA. In a brief statement yesterday, JISC said it "will be responding to the points they raise in due course...[and] look[s] forward [to] discussing these complex issues with them over the coming weeks."

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.
