Wellcome Trust Position Statement in support of open and unrestricted access to published research

Wellcome Trust (UK) was one of the world's first major research funders to put in place an open access mandate. The Wellcome Trust believes that "maximising the distribution of its papers - by providing free, online access - is the most effective way of ensuring that the research they fund can be accessed, read and built upon. In turn, this will foster a richer research culture".
