[Hilton Gibson]

Three years after MIT faculty chose to make their scholarly articles openly
accessible through the MIT Faculty Open Access Policy, individuals around
the world have benefited from free access to MIT’s research. Comments
submitted to the Open Access Articles Collection in DSpace at MIT reveal that
faculty articles have helped a wide range of people—students trying to
complete professional and undergraduate degrees; professors at universities
with limited access to scholarly journals; independent researchers; those
in need of medical information; and those working to stay current and
advance their careers.
