Achieving Open Access through the self archiving of peer-reviewed journal articles.

The new arguments:Open Access as key to innovation and economic growth
2010 Communication from the Commission on the Innovation Union :“In 2012, the Commission will propose a European Research Area Framework and supporting measures [...]. They will notably seek to ensure through a common approach to [...] dissemination, transfer and use of research results, including through open access to publications and data from publicly funded research”. The Commission “[...]will promote open access to the results of publicly funded research. It will aim to make open access to publications the general principle for projects funded by the EU research Framework Programmes [...]”.COM (2010) 546.

”A new kind of business is emerging – one that opens its doors to the world, innovates with everyone (especially customers), shares resources that were previously guarded, harnesses the power of mass collaboration, and behaves not as a multinational but as something new: a truly global firm.”
