The Royal Society has launched a trial of an open access journal service, which will allow people to read new scientific papers free of charge immediately after they are published on the web. The new service offers authors the opportunity to pay a fee to have their paper made freely available on the web immediately if it is accepted for publication by any Royal Society journal.

The new open access journal service, called EXiS Open Choice, is being offered to authors of papers that are accepted for publication in any of the Royal Society's seven journals. The Royal Society publishes the world's oldest peer-reviewed scientific journal, Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society.

(from STS-l listserv) 

Now through the end of 2006, the Electrochemical Society (ECS) is
pleased to provide institutional subscribers with free trial access to
the online archives of both the Journal of The Electrochemical Society
(JES) and Electrochemical and Solid State Letters (ESL). Subscribers
will be notified regarding the activation of access to this additional
content from JES (www.ecsdl.org/JES) and ESL (www.ecsdl.org/ESL).

The JES online archive is now accessible back to 1975, and ECS plans to
make the complete archive available beginning with the first volume in
1902. Articles from ESL are available going back to the publication's
launch in mid-1998. Articles will be available as full-text PDFs, and
all online back issues offer HTML-formatted tables of contents, abstract
pages, and searchable database records.

(Note: College of Charleston Libraries don't have a current subscription of Electrochemical and Solid State Letters (ESL).)
