In response to the growing demand to make research free and available to anyone with a computer and an internet connection, a diverse coalition of scientists, foundations, libraries, universities and advocates issued new guidelines that could usher in huge advances in the sciences, medicine, and health.

The recommendations were developed by leaders of the Open Access movement and are the result of a meeting hosted earlier this year by the Open Society Foundations, on the tenth anniversary of the landmark Budapest Open Access Initiative which first defined Open Access.
