Open Access
Open Access is the free, immediate, online availability of research articles coupled with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment.
Why Open Access?
- Academic authors can disseminate the results of their research more widely and increase the impact of their work.
- Academic authors retain more control over their works, instead of signing all or most rights away to commercial publishers.
- Results of taxpayer-funded research are more accessible to everyone.
- An alternative to subscription-based scholarly journals, which have increased in price annually beyond the rate of inflation.
Where is it located?
