List of all publishers a symphony of colors 
The associate editor of the journal Genomics has resigned, stating that he can no longer work for a system that puts profit over access to research. In an article in The Guardian, Winston Hide announced his resignation from “system that provides solid profits for the publisher while effectively denying colleagues in developing countries access to research findings.” 
I propose that Harvard faculty members organize to volunteer their editorial services in identifying and recommending the best new open access articles in their field, after those articles have been published. Get the publications out there, decide if they’re important later.

Frontiers launches research networking for scientists 
With its recent launch of Light: Science and Applications, an open access (OA) physical sciences journal, and several more OA specialist publications planned for this year, Nature Publishing Group (NPG) is moving forward with its plan to include this publishing model in the center of its business. Though not every NPG journal is fair game for open access, it seems – top-tier publications will remain under a subscription-based model – specialist titles may be a place for further expansion as open access continues to develop. |

Our map of Science Communicators based on utilization of the #scicomm hashtag was very popular and we’ve been asked to create maps for more hashtags. We decided that a map of Twitterers using #openaccess would be useful, as the movement to free research publication access is gaining momentum, with the associated #academicspring hashtag also being used. These maps show trends regarding the location and interests of the Twitterers, and perhaps more importantly they help people to connect with others in their geographic region.
