Open Access Publishing: What you need to know The document discusses open access publishing models where content creators pay for their work to be made freely available online rather than using traditional subscription models. It outlines that open access allows anyone worldwide to access, read, download and use digital scholarly articles. Funding can come from author fees, grants, foundations, institutional memberships or advertising. For libraries, open access means fewer subscriptions but more hybrid journals with both open access and subscribed content, as well as varying embargo periods for access to journal articles.
