The Budapest Open Access initiative

To achieve open access to scholarly journal literature, we recommend two complementary strategies.

Open Access policy 2009

• Research available Open Access through open archives
• Researchers were asked to deliver their peer-reviewed articles to the the University by the date of publishing
• Peer-reviewed articles should be made available in BORA in agreement with authors and publisher
• University Library was given the responsibility to inform and facilitate the adaption of the policy

Conclusion:

• Researchers are positive to Open Access
• They do not have the motivation to self-archive - the mandate from 2009 is not something they relate to
• Researchers are more interested in support to publish in Open Access-journals
