Budapest Open Access Initiative

An old tradition and a new technology have converged to make possible an unprecedented public good. The old tradition is the willingness of scientists and scholars to publish the fruits of their research in scholarly journals without payment, for the sake of inquiry and knowledge. The new technology is the internet.

• Removing access barriers to this literature will accelerate research, enrich education, share the learning of the rich with the poor and the poor with the rich.
• The only constraint on reproduction and distribution should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.

To achieve open access to scholarly journal literature, we recommend two complementary strategies:

• Self-Archiving: Scholars need the tools and assistance to deposit their refereed journal articles in open electronic archives.
• Open-access Journals: Scholars need the means to launch a new generation of journals committed to open access.
