Binghamton University Open Access Policy
The faculty of Binghamton University are committed to the dissemination and sharing of scholarship and creative works. As authors, we recognize the need to share our work with peers as well as the general public, and the benefits that result from this sharing such as visibility in online search engines, journal websites, and online repositories. We also recognize the need to develop a campus Open Access policy in response to the SUNY Board of Trustees (BOT) Campus Open Access Policies Memo distributed in 2018.
To serve these goals we pledge to share/submit scholarly articles (the final version submitted to the publisher) to the Libraries, who will then review publisher self-archiving policies for each article and post in the Libraries’ Open Repository @ Binghamton (ORB) as permitted. Items that cannot be shared will not be posted to the ORB. If due to the research scope, copyright or other considerations faculty are prevented from submitting their scholarly articles, a waiver can be supplied, or an embargo period put in place. Review of this policy will occur within three years of adoption, with a report presented to University faculty and administration on the impact of this policy.
