Biomedical Journals and Open Access

I have written before about my enormous admiration for the global attempt to make research freely available to everyone. This is such an important step toward patient empowerment and greater transparency in science and medicine.

There is currently an online petition to support free and open access to European research, and if you also believe in the principles of integrity, transparency and personal empowerment, you may want to consider signing.

I was gratified to see how many major journals are now making articles immediately and permanently available online
without charge. A number of journals require an institutional or a
personal subscription to view other content, such as reviews or paper
reports. Free trial subsciptions to these journals are available.

This seems to be the most up-to-date listing, and everyone involved really deserves our gratitude. I shall continue to update this list as more journals become involved.
