Been meaning to pass this one along for a while -- via Dorothea Salo, a new journal called Open Access Research:

We have recently started Open Access Research (OAR) , a peer-reviewed, open-access journal that will enable greater interaction and facilitate a deeper conversation about open access, including topics such as:

* open access journals
* institutional support for open access
* open access publishing services and software
* open access repositories (both institutional and subject-based)
* electronic theses and dissertations
* the impact of open access on scholarly research and communications.

If you are engaged in research relating to open access, or if you have an article in mind, please contact us. OAR’s first issue will be in August, 2007 and will subsequently be published three times a year. Submissions received by March 31, 2007 will be considered for the August issue; subsequent submissions will be considered for future issues.
