EDUCATE YOURSELF ABOUT OPEN ACCESS
OPEN ACCESS is a movement within scholarly communication that seeks to make scholarly resources freely available.
- OPEN ACCESS Journals (Gold OA) - peer-reviewed journals for publication of research that do not require subscriptions by end users.
- OPEN ACCESS Repositories (Green OA) - archive scholarly resources including articles, data sets, and presentations.
- OPEN ACCESS benefits FACULTY and STUDENTS by removing barriers to sharing or accessing research.
- OPEN ACCESS benefits LIBRARIES by minimizing expensive subscriptions and licensing fees.
- OPEN ACCESS benefits the GENERAL PUBLIC by removing barriers to academic quality research.
