Harvard Handout
Harvard University Arts & Sciences faculty voted on February 12 to give the University a worldwide license to publish their scholarly articles online, making them available free of charge. This act on the part of a world-class university will be seen as a major step in the expansion of the open access movement. Harvard faculty will continue to retain copyright for their articles, subject to the University's license, but will be allowed to obtain a waiver of the license in particular cases.
