ROARMAP: Open Access Policy Adopted by UNESCO

In principle, all of UNESCO’s publications are protected by copyright. Through a new Open Access Policy for its publications, UNESCO will provide online access to all of its (research) outputs without many of the restrictions commonly imposed by copyright. 

As one of the first steps, UNESCO will make these publications available online through a multilingual Repository. 

The objective of this policy is to improve access to research created by UNESCO and to increase the dissemination of the resulting data.
