It is interesting to see Thomson's ISI Web of Knowledge in the race to archive and index open access databases. The service is now up to eleven databases and climbing. I think this is a good development - I have long argued that free online resources should be offered alongside commercial resources, and that publishers are doing their best to keep the free competition out of the marketplace. This is still true in many respects, but this service shows that it is in some places becoming less true, something that can only benefit users in the long run. More about ISI.
