Today we want to introduce “Living Reviews” to you.
“Living Reviews is a long term project [started in 1996] encompassing an electronic journal platform and a group of journals. Living Reviews journals are scientific open access journals, publishing review articles that provide insightful surveys on research progress in the fields they cover, and guiding readers to the most important literature in the field.
Its unique concept allows authors to regularly update their articles to incorporate the latest developments in the field. Living Reviews are available online only, enhanced by web features like movies, downloadable source code, or cross-linking to other resources.”

The Edition Open Access is a publication of the Max Planck Research Library for the History and Development of Knowledge. The Max Planck Research Library for the History and Development of Knowledge comprises three subseries, Studies, Essays and Sources. They present research results and the relevant sources in a new format, combining the advantages of traditional publications and the digital medium. The volumes are available both as printed books and as online open access publications. They present original scientific work submitted under the scholarly responsibility of members of the Scientific Board and their academic peers.
SCOAP3 (Sponsoring Consortium for Open Access Publishing in Particle Physics)
Period: 2006-
MPS project partner: Max Planck Digital Library
Website: http://scoap3.org
A consortium facilitates Open Access publishing in High Energy Physics by re-directing subscription money. This answers the request of the High Energy Physics community.
Today we have compiled a collection of links to videos about Open Access for you.
