BOSTON UNIVERSITY ENDORSES INSTITUTION-WIDE, OPEN-ACCESS RESEARCH ARCHIVE

Press Release: Research by Boston University faculty and staff will soon be freely available in an online archive, bypassing the conventional and restrictive route of publishing papers in academic journals, announced BU President Robert A. Brown.

“Open access is an irresistible tide,” said David Ozonoff, a professor of environmental health at BU’s School of Public Health. “The publishers see this. They’ve been trying to prevent it, but it’s impossible.”
