Mon Sep 16 02:15:49 UTC 2013

When listing the “B” declarations on Open Access, we should add the
“Salvador de Bahía Declaration on Open Access: the developing world
perspective”, a Declaration promoted by SciELO in 2005 which urges
governments to make Open Access a high priority in their scholary
development policies. These include:

§  Insist that publicly funded research is available in Open Access;

§  Consider the cost of publication as part of the cost of research;

§  Strengthen local Open Access journals and repositories, and other
relevant initiatives;

§  Promote the integration of scholarly information from developing
countries into the repository of the world’s knowledge.
