Three years after the MIT faculty established their Open Access Policy, more than 5,000 papers have been made available through the Policy.
By the end of 2011, 60% of MIT faculty had papers deposited in the Open Access Articles Collection, making their work openly available to the world.
March 18 marked the third anniversary of the faculty’s precedent-setting policy, the first university-wide faculty policy of its kind in the United States.
