"Most of the 2.5 million articles published each year in the world’s 24,000 peer-reviewed journals are closed 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 the kind of Open Access, as defined by the Budapest Open Access Initiative, something we want to refer to as @ccess. It will: [1] publish an Open Access Index: a novel way to measure access to information; [2] provide a portal to Open Access related information; [3] be a one-stop resource for access to all published scientific information organized around themes: for instance malaria, cancer; [4] include tools for easy access; [5] offer novel ways of sharing information made possible by Open Access; [6] build and link to communities of scientists and other citizens sharing information; [7] link to other Open Access groups...."
