Open access research to promote equality
• In our days PhD students and
researchers all over the world have
access to a continuously increasing
number of sources.
• Open access facilities significantly
changed scientific cognition and
improved the participation to state-
of-the-art research of countries of
the “scientific periphery”.
• In history of science open access
facilities have dramatically changed
the participation to the global
research.
• A researcher from everywhere can
have access to Isaac Newton’s
papers or to astronomical Byzantine
manuscripts.
