Open Access Information

The Open Access (OA) initiative supports making scholarly peer-reviewed articles freely available on the Internet, either immediately or after a defined embargo period. The focus is on world-wide, barrier-free, open access to the full text of research and creative literature, using a funding or economic paradigm that differs from current journal publishing models.

For more information, Peter Suber, a leader in the Open Access movement, has written an excellent overview.
