PhysMath Central Blog
SCOAP3 - the Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics - now has its own homepage. Although not quite yet complete, it does serve as an invaluable resource for information on how this innovative approach to open access is coming along. Also, there is a very concise summary on the homepage:
Today: (funding bodies through) libraries buy journal subscriptions to support the peer-review service and to allow their patrons to read articles.
Tomorrow: funding bodies and libraries contribute to the consortium, which pays centrally for the peer-review service. Articles are free to read for everyone.
