Abstract:The Bethesda Statement is a summary of draft principles on open access publishing within the biomedical research community. The principles were drafted at a meeting held on April 11, 2003 at the headquarters of the Howard Hughes Medical Institute in Chevy Chase, Maryland. The intention of the meeting was stimulate discussion on how to proceed in providing open access to the primary scientific literature. The document is comprised of four sections followed by the reports of three working groups. The group is planning to draft a final set of principles in a few months and then will seek to have them formally endorsed by funding agencies, scientific societies, pulishers, librarians, research instituitons and scientists as the accepted standard for publication of peer-reviewed reports of original research in the biomedical sciences.
