More OA Hindawi journals

It's been noted elsewhere (lists, Peter Suber's blog, etc.) but I thought I would get my dibs in (after all, I am a Serials Librarian) and mention the 12 new OA journals that will be coming out soon from Hindawi Publishing (www.hindawi.com):

Research Letters in Biochemistry
Research Letters in Chemical Engineering
Research Letters in Communications
Research Letters in Ecology
Research Letters in Electronics
Research Letters in Inorganic Chemistry
Research Letters in Materials Science
Research Letters in Nanotechnology
Research Letters in Organic Chemistry
Research Letters in Physical Chemistry
Research Letters in Physics
Research Letters in Signal Processing

If my math is correct, this brings the Hindawi suite of fully OA journals to a total of 78. Not too shabby. The press release about the Research Letters titles indicates that others in this series will be announced in the near future.

The submission fees for the Research Letters journals will be 400 Euros (approx. $619 CAN or $535 US). This is at the cheaper end of the OA journal submission fee scale.
