Oxford Journals announced that a new open access policy, that will allow authors to put "post-print", (ie peer-reviewed and edited) journal articles online for free, 12 months after publication, or immediately if authors' research grants cover "author pays" publication fees. (Note that they already allow authors to post "pre-prints" online, ie articles as submitted). This new OA initiative is innovative, and aligns Oxford with the new US National Institutes of Health policy. Oxford publishes a number of other open access journals.
