Open Access
What is Open Access?
Open Access is the online, free availability of research output without the severe restrictions on use commonly imposed by publisher copyright agreements. Open Access provides the means to maximize the visibility, and thus the uptake and use, of research output. It has direct and widespread implications for academia, medicine, science, industry, and for society as a whole and especially also for our partners in the developing world.
