Open Access 101

Open Access 101 gives us the basics of open access publishing - a core feature of Open Science.

The article starts: "Open access, like many areas of publishing or higher education, generates jargon and acronyms. To add to the potential for confusion, open access is also multi-faceted: a movement, a publishing model and a business model."

It concludes: "The open access – and more broadly the open scholarship – landscape is dynamic and constantly evolving. To foster change all stakeholders need to collaborate to create sustainable and equitable solutions that realise the potential of a more transparent and open scholarly communication system."
