The NYS Higher Education Initiative is now a member of the Alliance for Taxpayer Access.
The ATA stands on four principle,
1. American taxpayers are entitled to open access on the Internet to the peer-reviewed scientific articles on research funded by the U.S. Government.
2. Widespread access to the information contained in these articles is an essential, inseparable component of our nation’s investment in science.
3. This and other scientific information should be shared in cost-effective ways that take advantage of the Internet, stimulate further discovery and innovation, and advance the translation of this knowledge into public benefits.
4. Enhanced access to and expanded sharing of information will lead to usage by millions of scientists, professionals, and individuals, and will deliver an accelerated return on the taxpayers’ investment.
NYSHEI believes that these principles closely mirror the mission and values of NYSHEI, and looks to a long and fruitful partnership with the ATA.
