Consistent with our mission to share research, analytical tools, and technical expertise on critical social and scientific issues, RTI Press publishes peer-reviewed, open-access briefs, reports, and books.
The elements of our open access policy outlined here apply to all RTI Press publications, with the exception of co-published books.
Ensuring publications are accessible and discoverable.
RTI Press publications are available for free PDF download from https://www.rti.org/rti-press.
Providing immediate access.
RTI Press publications are immediately available for download and sharing upon publication without an embargo period.
Facilitating open access through Creative Commons licensing.
To clarify terms of use and encourage sharing, digital versions of RTI Press publications are made available under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercialNoDerivatives 4.0 International license. The CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license grants permission to share RTI Press publications in their final form for non-commercial purposes with appropriate attribution.
Encouraging sharing and reuse.
RTI Press supports reposting and sharing of our publications to facilitate further scientific discovery, learning, archiving, and to meet the requirements of funders. The Press actively deposits publications in relevant indexes (such as PubMed and ERIC) and facilitates discovery through appropriate tagging of metadata. We also encourage authors to share and reuse their contributions to the RTI Press.
