What is Open Access?

Open access promotes broader access to academic research by scholars, students, professionals and the general public. 

The concept of open access continues to evolve, but in general, it means that works such as peer-reviewed journal articles, graduate theses, data, or other types of scholarly information are made available free of charge, immediately (no publisher delay or embargo), and in a permanently accessible, online format.
