Dear all
As a sequel to a short (but periodic) debate a few weeks back about open
access publishing, list members may be interested to know about this
free publishing resource that enables open access journals. Open Journal
Systems is run by the Public Knowledge Network and manages all stages of
the publishing process - online.
