Freier Zugang zu öffentlich finanzierter Forschung (Open Access)

A petition launched February 1, 2012, by Christian Reinboth. From Google's English: "Thus, the results of federally funded scientific research in Germany as many students, academics and other interested parties - both nationally and internationally - are available to the federal government should work for a consistent implementation of the Open Access principle of publicly funded research. This means that it will allow future scientists to a greater extent has to make in scientific journals, published research findings that have emerged from government-funded research, the interested public free of charge. The German tax payers are among the most generous supporters of scientific research worldwide and is entitled to expect to get free access to the results of research funded by them, so this insight in a particular case there be no significant reason."
