Open access - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Increasingly, authors are being asked to make their works openly accessible by research funders, such as the U.S. National Institutes of Health, and the Wellcome Trust, as well as by their universities. |
| | However, many countries, funders, universities and other organizations have now either made commitments to open access, or are in the process of reviewing their policies and procedures, with a view to opening up access to results of the research they are responsible for. |
| | In 2005, the world's two largest funders of medical researchers, the United States National Institute of Health and the United Kingdom's Wellcome Trust, adopted policies with, respectively, a recommendation and a requirement to provide open access to the results of successful grantees. |
