This story follows the announcement by the number two company in the field, Springer, that it is moving to the open access model of journal distribution online. "Springer's move to the 'open access' model will ratchet up the pressure on Reed Elsevier, the London-listed market leader, which is desperately clinging to the traditional style of science publishing," Via Open Access News. Now I should note that a tour of the Springer web site doesn't yield any obvious links to open access content or even a pres release on this, so we're not there yet.
