This is to announce that -- in order to reflect what it has actually
evolved into across the years -- the American Scientist "September98
Forum" is now officially renamed the
"American Scientist Open Access Forum."

All old emails and URLs will continue to work.

Best wishes,

Stevan Harnad

NOTE: A complete archive of the ongoing discussion of providing open
access to the peer-reviewed research literature online is available at
the American Scientist Open Access Forum (98 & 99 & 00 & 01 & 02 & 03):
