What is Open Access?

Home › What We Do › Open Access › What is Open Access?

Open Access is the free, immediate, online availability of research articles combined with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment. Open Access is the needed modern update for the communication of research that fully utilises the Internet for what it was originally built to do—accelerate research.
