You might consult consult John Willinsky’s “The Nine Flavours of Open Access Scholarly Publishing” in the Journal of Postgraduate Medicine. As well, the Soros Foundation has prepared a Guide to Open Access Publishing and Scholarly Societies which is “a guide meant to help scholarly societies — and small publishers — assess the options available to them for the future of their journal publishing programmes.” SPARC, the Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition, also provides a number of resources related to open access publishing.
