What is Open access

Open access is a broad international movement that seeks to grant free and open online access to academic information, such as publication and data. A publication is defined 'open access' when there are no financial, legal or technical barriers to accessing it - that is to say when anyone can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search for and search within the information, or use it in education or in any other way within the legal agreements.
