Summary:
"In recent years, Hudson has been a prime mover in implementing OpenBU, an open access repository aimed at providing the widest possible archiving, online sharing, and dissemination of research and scholarship by BU faculty, staff, and students. Key steps have been adoption of an Open Access Policy in 2009 that makes scholarly work by BU faculty and staff available online for free as long as the authors are credited and the scholarship isn’t used for profit, and a shift in policy from one that requires faculty to opt in to provide open access to their scholarly articles to one that requires them instead to opt out if they don’t want to allow open access, adopted in 2015."
