"Open Acces" Initiative
Sharing
knowledge is a vital component in the growth
and advancement of our society in a sustainable
and responsible way. In order to contribute,
AIU is implementing an "Open Access"
Initiative with academic work, scientific
research, projects, and other scholarly
work by students, faculty, and other contributors.
Through Open Access, AIU and other leading
institutions through out the world are tearing
down the barriers to access and use research
literature. Our organization is interested
in the dissemination of advances in scientific
research fundamental to the proper operation
of a modern society, in terms of community
awareness, empowerment, health and wellness,
sustainable development, economic advancement,
and optimal functioning of health, education
and other vital services. AIU’s mission
and vision is consistent with
the vision expressed in the Budapest Open
Access Initiative and Berlin Declaration
on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences
and Humanities. Do you have something you
would like to share, or just a question
or comment? We would be happy to hear from
you, please use the Request Info link below.

Publications are also available in html.
AIU
"Open Access" Initiative
Therefore, we intend to make progress by:
- encouraging our researchers/grant recipients
to publish their work according to the
principles of the open access paradigm.
- encouraging the holders of cultural
heritage to support open access by providing
their resources on the Internet.
- developing means and ways to evaluate
open access contributions and online-journals
in order to maintain the standards of
quality assurance and good scientific
practice.
- advocating that open access publication
be recognized in promotion and tenure
evaluation.
- advocating the intrinsic merit of contributions
to an open access infrastructure by software
tool development, content provision, metadata
creation, or the publication of individual
articles.
