Open Access: a definition
• …. means, its free availability on the public internet,
permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute,
print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl
them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use
them for any other lawful purpose, without financial,
legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable
from gaining access to the internet itself.

The only constraint on reproduction and distribution,
and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to
give authors control over the integrity of their work and
the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.

• Based on the Budapest Declaration (BOAI):

Open Access = Scientific articles


Open Access is:

–Peer-reviewed scientific/scholarly articles
but it can also include any un-reviewed preprints that they might wish to
put online for comment or to alert colleagues to important research
findings

–Literature which scholars give to the world
without expectation of payment – often paid for
by governmental funding
