IFLA Statement on Open Access to Scholarly Literature and Research Documentation

Adopted by the Governing Board of IFLA at its meeting in The Hague on 5 December 2003, the IFLA Statement takes the definition of 'open access publication' from the Wellcome Trust Position statement in support of open access publishing and was based on the definition arrived at by delegates who attended the open access publishing meeting convened by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in July 2003.
