About Access Foundation

Access Foundation is an independent, nonprofit scientific and educational research foundation founded in 1997 to foster excellence in independent scholarship through the use and application of the sciences, humanities, and arts. The Access Foundation mission is to serve as an online international repository of literary resources and knowledge on the internet for both independent and academic scholarship. Access Foundation currently has over 125,000 subscribers to its services, including those that lawyers have diligently tried to shut down. These websites serve the industrial, scientific, governmental, business, finance, and academic sectors. Access Foundation publishes fifteen different web sites on literature, statistics, business, and academia.

Access Foundation, in conjunction with Britannica Online, now sponsors an acclaimed site titled, ACCESS THE GREAT BOOKS. As a resource of over 235 authors and their greatest works, it is referenced by thousands of colleges, universities, public, and private schools online.

History of Access Foundation

Access Foundation is the second largest professional association in the country which this year will celebrate its fifth anniversary. Founded in Kansas City in 1997, the Foundation began a tradition of promoting excellence in independent scholarship and writing ventures. Access Foundation demonstrated a commitment to independent scholarship to public welfare by offering its official journal of record, the Journal of Applied Statistical Reasoning free of charge. In 1999, the journal was sold to another publishing company. Today, our next exciting publication will be the Journal of Contemporary Scholarship.

Access Foundation, incorporated as a nonprofit educational institution by the state of Missouri, and by 1998 an energetic society with a roster of 125,000 subscribers. It is this new and proud heritage that directs the foundation, now with subscribers in the U.S., Canada, and overseas. In government, academia, and the private sector, Access Foundation subscribers apply their expertise to diverse and vital areas that include:

• writing books of fiction and nonfiction;
• submitting articles to scholarly, refereed journals;
• research in medical areas such as biochemistry and genetics
