Petition for Public Access to Publicly Funded Research in the United States
Sign the Petition for Public Access to Publicly Funded Research, available at: http://www.publicaccesstoresearch.org.
This petition builds on the 24,000+ signatures collected from around the world in support of free and open access to European research and for the recommendations proposed in the EU’s ‘Study on the Economic and Technical Evolution of the Scientific Publication Markets of Europe’ as well as the 132 higher education leaders who have written of their explicit support for public access to publicly funded research. The petition is open to supporters around the world to continue to demonstrate the depth and breadth of support for access to federally funded research. As lawmakers consider policies and legislation to advance public access, it is critical that supporters step forward and be counted.
