The SBU University Senate adopted an Open Access Policy on February 6, 2017. Open access means unrestricted online access to scholarly articles. The policy demonstrates SBU’s commitment to sharing the fruits of research and scholarship as widely as possible, and complying with public access mandates of grant-funded research. Participation in open access increases readership and citation rates.
