Summary:

[Google translate] FAO launches Open Access for all its publications

FAO will now implement an Open Access policy, which will maximize access to FAO's knowledge products in a user-friendly manner. FAO has been disseminating knowledge since its foundation in 1945, and its publications have been available to the public since 1998 in the FAO Online Document Repository. The new Open Access policy goes one step further; not only does it ensure that FAO's wealth of knowledge remains easily accessible to users around the world, but it actively promotes and encourages wider use, including the reproduction and dissemination of material.

"This policy is a recognition of the importance FAO attaches to the universal right of access to information. FAO's knowledge is a global public good, and it must be free of excessive barriers to access for those who need it most," said Enrique Yeves, Director of the Office of Institutional Communication. In particular, FAO will apply a Creative Commons 3.0 IGO license to all eligible publications and documents published on its website.
