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.

Budapest Open Access Initiative • By "open access" to the literature, we mean its free

availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.

Budapest Open Access Initiative

• open access is economically feasible• it gives readers extraordinary power to find

and make use of relevant literature• it gives authors and their works vast and

measurable new visibility, readership, and impact.

Open Access

- Saves time and money- Gives access to the full picture- Data bases and knowledge bases- Return of investments into science- Mission is possible
