About the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI)
The Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), launched in February 2002, is a landmark declaration that defines and promotes open access to peer-reviewed research literature. It advocates for the free availability of scholarly research online, permitting users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles without financial, legal, or technical barriers—as long as proper attribution is given.

The BOAI identifies two primary strategies to achieve open access:

Self-Archiving: Authors should deposit their peer-reviewed articles in open electronic archives.

Open Access Journals: New or existing journals should adopt models to provide immediate open access to their content.

The BOAI remains one of the foundational documents of the global open access movement, shaping institutional policies, funding mandates, and publishing practices worldwide.
