GenomeWeb: Public Library of Science Prepares to Boycott Journals with Launch of Publishing Effort

"The Public Library of Science Initiative said Sunday it is gearing up for a large-scale boycott of leading scientific journals and plans to begin publishing its own journals in September.
"Addressing the International Conference on Intelligent Systems in Molecular Biology, Michael Eisen of the University of California, Berkeley, said the initiative was making good on its pledge to publish in, edit or review for, and subscribe to only those journals that agree to deposit all published articles in PubMedCentral or other free online resources within six months of their initial publication date.
"The initiative, which posted an open letter stating its position on its website [1] last fall, set September 2001 as the start date for its boycott of any journal not adhering to its demands. Over 25,000 scientists have signed the letter, including several Nobel Laureates."
