1-  Support open access initiatives:

2002

Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) emerged from a gathering convened by the Open Society Institute (OSI) in Budapest. According to the BOAI Declaration of 2002, scholarly works intended for unrestricted online access are those freely shared by scholars without anticipation of compensation.

2003

The Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing was formulated by delegates representing funding agencies, libraries, publishers, and scientists at a conference on open access publishing hosted by the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Chevy Chase, Maryland. Centered on biomedical research, the statement underscores the imperative of swift and effective dissemination of research findings aligned with the ethos of open access.

The Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities is drafted within the framework of a conference on the development of new Web-based research environments that was organised by the Max Planck Society and the European Cultural Heritage Online (ECHO) project. By signing the declaration, leading European and American research organisations and universities commit to supporting the development of the notion of open access, for example, by encouraging researchers to publish their results in open access.
