Open Access & Amherst College

• In their efforts to make information open to all, the Amherst College faculty have adopted an open access resolution.
• The policy requires Amherst faculty to submit an electronic copy of all scholarly articles to the Provost's office. The Provost's office may then post that article in an Open Access repository.
• Faculty who wish to share their articles in an Open Access repository are encouraged to identify an appropriate discipline-based repository in order to reach the widest possible audience. 

Amherst College is also home to Amherst College Press, a fully open-access scholarly press, and a founding member of Lever Press, an open-access scholarly press funded by a consortium of liberal arts institutions.
