What is the intended impact of BOAI on researchers, teachers, consumers, and others who wish to buy, assign, or use priced literature?
We do not ask researchers, teachers, consumers (or anyone else) to boycott any kind of literature or any kind of publisher. If the literature they need for their research, their courses, or their pleasure is not freely available online, then they should buy or borrow what they need. We ask them to help this cause by making their own writings freely available online, not by distorting their research projects or coursework by favoring open-access literature that doesn’t meet their needs.
