Wiki man joins EC OA campaign
Laura Smith
Wikipedia founder Jimmy Wales has backed a petition calling on the European Commission to give the public open access to taxpayer-funded scientific research.
The petition has been signed by more than 20,000 academics, librarians and individuals around the world, including Nobel laureates.
It calls on the EC to formally endorse the recommendations outlined in a study it commissioned last year, which concluded that the EU should ensure the widest possible readership for scholarly articles.
Wales told IWR he had signed the petition because it was "simple and obvious" that the public should have access to research they had funded. "Public money should result in public benefit," he said.
