Advantages of Open Access•Substantial increase in reach and
impact, particularly for developing country publications
•Openness decreases the risk of duplication, removal of competition makes science less wasteful
•Science made faster, speeds up the solution of urgent development needs
•Wider reach of research, better returns for research investment
•Better monitoring, assessment and management of research
