we put it in the 10th anniversary statement, the BOAI "didn't invent
the idea of OA. On the contrary, it deliberately drew together existing
projects to explore how they might 'work together to achieve broader,
deeper, and faster success.' But the BOAI was the first initiative to
use the term 'open access' for this purpose, the first to articulate a
public definition, the first to propose complementary strategies for
realizing OA, the first to generalize the call for OA to all disciplines
and countries, and the first to be accompanied by significant funding."<br><br><i>Happy Valentines Day</i> to all who are working for OA worldwide!"<br><br>(<a href="https://plus.google.com/+PeterSuber/posts/Zjom4LyUXLM">https://plus.google.com/+PeterSuber/posts/Zjom4LyUXLM</a>)<br><br><a rel="nofollow" class="" href="https://plus.google.com/s/%23oa"> </a><a href="https://t.co/ftgai2P87z" rel="nofollow" dir="ltr" class="" target="_blank" title="https://plus.google.com/109377556796183035206/posts/Zjom4LyUXLM"><span class=""></span><span class=""></span></a></div></div>
