Dear friends:
While on the subject of OA journals, I thought that those who are interested in this topic will find the white paper on "The Impact of Open Access Journals" by Thomson Scientific very useful. The whitepaper, though published in 2004, is available at the following link and could give some very interesting insight into the evolution of OA journals, the trends, impact factor of OA journals and importantly, the lead from Asia Pacific, contrary to usual western dominance.

Hope you will find it useful.
Regards,
Venkatesh
