Mapping Human Cognition, Validating Free Journals
http://www.akshayshah.org/2008/07/cognition/authors. This is quite unusual in scientific publishing, where the usual model is to charge ludicrously high fees for read-only access.

Science 2.0
http://ahabloging.com/2008/07/science-20-4.htmlof research references; and even an experiment in open peer review, with pre-publication manuscripts made available for public comment.
