 # Open Access Policy of the University of Puerto Rico School of Law <br /> On March 24, 2010, the Faculty of the University of Puerto Rico School of Law unanimously approved the adoption of an Open Access Policy (“OAP”) in order to share the fruits of its research and scholarship as broadly as possible and reduce barriers to access them. Through the OAP, articles accepted for publication of the Faculty of the School of Law will be available for free to the general public in an online digital repository. <br /> With the adoption of the OAP, the School of Law deepens its commitment to the global movement of open access, which promotes the free and unrestricted access to materials published digitally and placed online that are the product of academic endeavors. The open access movement is built around the principle that knowledge is a public good and, accordingly, the fruits of knowledge should be distributed for use by everyone, locally and globally. <br /> We are now working on the implementation phase of the Open Access Policy such as the design and creation of the repository.

Funded by Puerto Rico Board of Higher Education, the project’s main purpose is to create a national online repository devoted to the publication of thesis produced at all institutions of higher education in Puerto Rico.

CCPR believes in free culture and open source and addresses its efforts towards advancing a culture of internet users that not only consumes contents, but, more importantly, actively engages in the production of new works.
