Access2Research is a campaign in the United States for academic journal publishing reform led by open access advocates Michael W. Carroll, Heather Joseph, Mike Rossner, and John Wilbanks.[1]

On May 20, 2012, it launched a petition to the White House to "require free access over the Internet to journal articles arising from taxpayer-funded research".[2] The White House has committed to issue an official response to such petitions if they reach 25,000 signatures within 30 days.[3] Access2Research reached this milestone within two weeks.[4][5] On February 22, 2013, the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy and announced an executive directive ordering all US Federal Agencies with research & development budgets over $100M to develop public access policies within twelve months.

The petition builds on previous campaigns asking scholars, publishers, funders, governments and the general public to remove

NIH Public Access Policy[6] as an example of a mandate that should be expanded to all federally funded research.[7][8][9][10]

Endorsements

The campaign's outreach was supported on the first day of its launch by

Lybba.[21]

It has been publicly endorsed by several other organizations, including the

Alliance for Taxpayer Access,[22] the Association of College and Research Libraries,[23] the Association of Research Libraries,[24] Arizona State University Libraries,[25] BioSharing,[26] The Center for Scholarly Communication and Digital Curation at Northwestern University,[27] figshare,[28] Genetic Alliance,[29] InTechWeb,[30] Mendeley[31] and the Wikimedia Foundation.[32]

Criticism

The petition has been criticized by a spokesperson for the

delayed open access.[33]
