About Open Access

What is 'OA'?

• Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. 
• OA is compatible with copyright, peer review, revenue (even profit), print, preservation, prestige, quality, career-advancement, indexing, and other features and supportive services associated with conventional scholarly literature.
• Many OA initiatives focus on publicly-funded research.
• OA literature is not free to produce or publish.
• OA is compatible with peer review, and all the major OA initiatives for scientific and scholarly literature insist on its importance.
