Open Access (OA) means the free, immediate, online availability of research outputs and educational resources. OA content is accessible to everyone, without financial, legal, or technical barriers.
The term “open access” is often used to describe free-to-read works that are © “all rights reserved”. However, full OA allows users to reuse, retain, redistribute, revise and adapt works. Some rights, such as the right of attribution, may be reserved. Full OA is managed with open licences.
Open Scholarship is the practice of applying the principles of full open access (OA) to all areas of research and education.
