In order to implement the Berlin Declaration institutions should
1. Implement a policy to require their researchers to deposit a copy of all their published articles in an open access repository, and
2. Encourage their researchers to publish their research articles in open access journals where a suitable journal exists and provide the support [i.e. pay the processing fees] to enable that to happen.

Putting peer-reviewed scientific and scholarly literature
on the internet. Making it available free of charge and
free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.
Removing the barriers to serious research.
