Summary:
"In March 2009, MIT faculty passed one of the country’s first open access policies; the policy covers their scholarly articles by default.
As of April 2017, all MIT authors, including students, postdocs, and staff, can “opt-in” to an open access license. See below for information on how to deposit a paper, get download statistics on your papers, or opt out of the policy. Authors covered by the MIT faculty open access policy do not need to sign this license.
