Driving force behind open access –
Dissatisfaction at all levels
? Authors: their work is not seen by all 
their peers – do not receive the 
recognition they deserve
? Readers:  cannot view all research 
literature they need – less effective
? Libraries:  cannot satisfy information 
needs of their users
Background of the BOAI
December 2001, Budapest:  OSI held a meeting 
of leaders exploring alternative publishing 
models.  Concluded that “open access” was 
the goal and agreed on two main strategies 
for achieving it:  
1. open access journals 
2. self-archiving/institutional repositories

individual / institutional signatories to the
