What is Open Access?
Open Access Resources, or OARs, refers to freely available, digital, information. Open access scholarly literature is freely available online but, like all intellectual property, it still carries restrictive copyright and licensing barriers, albeit less restrictive than for profit or traditionally published works. Scholarly OARs, such as open access journals, comply with the well-established, peer-review processes, and rigorous publishing standards.
For more information, please see Peter Suber's "
Open Access Overview
: Focusing on open access to peer-reviewed research articles and their prepints."
