Good.  Tinkering with your text:

Open @ccess for All

‘Sharing the results of scientific research’

“Most of the 2.5 million articles published each year
in the world’s 24,000 peer-reviewed journals are denied to many of
their potential users because they cannot afford access.”

The solution to this problem is open access: free and unrestricted access to
scientific information for everyone: free to read, reuse, and redistribute.

This site is dedicated to the promotion of Open Access, as defined by
the Budapest Open Access Initiative.

It will:

publish an Open Access Index: a novel way to measure access to information;

provide a portal to Open Access related information;

be a one-stop resource for access to all published scientific
information organized around themes: for instance malaria, cancer

include tools for easy access

offer novel ways of sharing information made possible by Open Access

build and host communities of scientists and other citizens sharing information

link to other Open Access groups.
