[Open-access] SCOAP3

Hello all

I haven't posted before but have been following the discussions with much
interest and have founds the info and links provided by various people
really useful.  I run an open access cancer journal http://ecancer.org/ecms
which has no author fees - we are currently mainly supported by charity
funding but the journal has been growing at a great rate this year so I'm
looking into accessing any funding that might be out there to support open
access publishing.  The reality is that we will have to start charging
author fees at some point if we can't get more funding and we really don't
want to do that as providing a free service for the oncology community is
very important to us.

So does anyone know whether there is anything like SCOAP3 in the field of
medical publishing?

Thanks in advance for any help or advice anyone might be able to give me,

Katie Foxall

Not got so much press as the big announcements this week but this is a big
deal. Communities can just decide unilaterally to move to OA.
