Summary:
"In December of that year, a small group of advocates for open science, including representatives from BioMed Central and the Public Library of Science, met at the Open Society Institute in Budapest to agree on a definition for the emerging OA publishing model. The following February, those representatives published the “Budapest Open Access Initiative,” and modern OA publishing was born.
The BOAI will be turning 15 this year, and continues to provide the authoritative definition of OA."
