A brief description of the open access policy, including the date adopted and repository(ies) used:
In February 2015 the University formally adopted an Opt-Out Open Access policy for faculty scholarly articles. Under this policy, peer-reviewed and other scholarly articles published by faculty will be deposited into OpenBU automatically unless that faculty opts-out via waiver on a per-article basis. The goal of BU's Opt-Out Open Access policy is to disseminate the fruits of faculties research and scholarship as widely as possible.
