Charles Bailey writes the authoritative bibliography and webliography on open access: OA Bibliography http://info.lib.uh.edu/cwb/oab.pdf OA Webliography http://www.escholarlypub.com/cwb/oaw.htm

"It may be worth noting that open access is a very well-defined area, with clear definitions and policy developments underway, whereas open source science is a concept that potentially includes a great deal more elements, and is not well defined at present, at least as far as I know. The open access movement focuses on the scholarly, peer-reviewed journal literature, whether published as open access or published in subscription-based journals and self-archived by authors for open access.

Open source science, as I use the phrase, means anything from open data (which can be open for viewing, or for re-use), research blogging, to open collaboration.

When looking at criticism of open access, it is important to be aware that most of the "criticism" is coming from people who are making profits in the subscription-based model. This is not an objective scholarly discussion.

Some recommended works:

Jean-Claude Guedon is one of the earliest leaders of the open access movement, and has written some of the more profound works on scholarly communications - here is one of his articles in E-LIS: http://eprints.rclis.org/archive/00003039/

Have you read John Willinsky's The Access Principle at: http://mitpress.mit.edu/catalog/item/default.asp?tid=10611&ttype=2

It is very much worthwhile reading the Budapest, Berlin, and Bethesda statements - they include a lot of the philosophical underpinnings and background." August 21, 2006
