OPEN ACCESS
Removes price barriers (subscriptions, licensing fees, pay-per-view fees) and permission barriers (most copyright and licensing restrictions) for scholarly content
http://www.earlham.edu/~peters/fos/overview.htm
12
OPEN ACCESS
Strategies to achieve goal of OA
I. Self-Archiving
I. Scholars deposit their refereed journal articles in open electronic archives following standards from the Open Archives Initiative http://www.openarchives.org/
II. Search engines treat the separate archives as one so users don’t need to know about where the content is residing.
13
OPEN ACCESSII. Open-access Journals
Journal articles should be disseminated as widely as possible
OA journals will not invoke copyright to restrict access to and use of the material they publish
Ensure permanent open access to all the articles they publish
Remove barriers to access: OA journals will not charge subscription or access fees
Cover expenses through foundations and governments funding research, universities and laboratories that employ researchers and endowments
