    Scientists, Foundations, Libraries, Universities, and Advocates Unite and
    Issue New Recommendations to Make Research Freely Available to All Online

    WASHINGTON -- In response to the growing demand to make research free and
    available to anyone with a computer and an internet connection, a diverse
    coalition today issued new guidelines (
    http://www.soros.org/openaccess/boai-10-recommendations) that could usher
    in huge advances in the sciences, medicine, and health.

    The recommendations were developed by leaders of the Open Access movement (
    http://www.soros.org/openaccess/participants), which has worked for the
    past decade to provide the public with unrestricted, free access
    to scholarly research—much of which is publicly funded. Making the
    research publicly available to everyone—free of charge and without most
    copyright and licensing restrictions—will accelerate scientific research
    efforts and allow authors to reach a larger number of readers.

    “The reasons to remove restrictions as far as possible are to share
    knowledge and accelerate research. Knowledge has always been a public good
    in a theoretical sense. Open Access makes it a public good in practice,”
    said professor Peter Suber, director of the Open Access Project at
    Harvard University and a senior researcher at SPARC (The
    Scholarly Publishing and Academic Resources Coalition).

    The Open Access recommendations include the development of Open Access
    policies in institutions of higher education and in funding
    agencies, the open licensing of scholarly works, the development of
    infrastructure such as Open Access repositories and creating standards of
    professional conduct for Open Access publishing. The recommendations also
    establish a new goal of achieving Open Access as the default method for
    distributing new peer-reviewed research in every field and in every country
    within ten years’ time.

    “Science and scholarship are activities funded from the public purse
    because society believes they will lead to a better future in terms of our
    health, environment, and culture,” said Heather Joseph, executive director
    of SPARC. “Anything that maximises the efficacy and efficiency of
    research benefits every one of us. Open Access is a major tool in that
    quest. These new recommendations will underpin future developments in
    communicating the results of research over the next decade.”

    Today, Open Access is increasingly recognized as a right rather than an
    abstract ideal. The case for rapid implementation of Open Access continues
    to grow. Open Access benefits research and researchers; increases the
    return to taxpayers on their investment in research; and amplifies the
    social value of research, funding agencies, and research institutions.

    The Open Access recommendations are the result of a meeting hosted earlier
    this year by the Open Society Foundations, on the tenth anniversary of the
    landmark Budapest Open Access Initiative (
    http://www.soros.org/openaccess/read), which first defined Open Access.

    “Foundations rarely have the good fortune to be actively present at the
    birth of a world-wide movement that fundamentally changes the rules of
    the game and provides immediate benefit to the world,” said István
    Rév, director of the Open Society Archives and a member of the Open
    Society Foundations Global Board. “This is what happened when the Open
    Society Foundations initiated a meeting at the end of 2001 that gave birth
    to the Open Access movement.”
