The UOC papers journal has just published an article on the Open Research Society (ORS):

The ORS is an international NGO devoted to opening research: its results, methods and social practices. Yet another “open access” initiative? Not at all, it was thought to be something different, complementary to open access in scholarly publishing. The paper tries to capture the foundational spirit of the ORS, but the society is still work in progress, since it will be its members that hopefully will give it its concrete short-term objectives!
