“Extend, apply, and exchange knowledge between the University and
society by applying scholarly expertise to community problems, by
helping organizations and individuals respond to their changing
environments, and by making the knowledge and resources created
and preserved at the University accessible to the citizens of the state,
the nation, and the world.”

The Budapest Open Access
Initiative (BOAI) is a public statement
of principles relating to open access to
the research literature. It arose from a
conference convened in Budapest by
the Open Society Institute on
December 1–2, 2001 to promote open
access – at the time also known
as Free Online Scholarship.
It was estimated that there
were around 19,500 articles
published OA in 2000, while
the number has grown to
191,850 articles in 2009.

8. While we are expected to build on the achievement of past giants, without having
access to their research we may not be aware of all that has come before us. We
might not be able to include their work as a reference, and end up merely
duplicating previously published findings, instead of investing our time and effort
to explore cutting edge issues and produce new knowledge that would build upon
their work and be helpful for all of humanity.
