What is Open Access Publishing
|
Open Access is the practice of making peer-reviewed academic research and scholarly literature freely available to all online. The principles of the OA model were initially presented in the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities (2003). In library catalogs and databases, OA resources are often marked with a logo of an orange opened padlock. |
