Meaning of Open Acces

Open access (OA) refers to the unrestricted use of electronic resources and open access to information for all users. Digital content of any form, including text, data, software, audio, video, and multi-media, can be open access. Most of these are text-only, but an increasing number of them combine text with graphics, data, and executable code. Non-scholarly content, like as books, movies, and music, can also be covered by OA. The article processing charge (APC), which is a common practice in this paradigm, is commonly used to require authors to cover the costs associated with publication. eLife and PLOS-published publications are two examples of this type of open access.

 

A publication is considered in Open access if:

• its content is widely and freely accessible, at no cost to the reader, via the Internet or another method;
• The right to use, copy, or distribute the item is unconditionally granted by the author or copyright owner to all users, subject to the requirements of correct attribution, for an indefinite amount of time.
• It is instantly, fully, and in an appropriate electronic format deposited in at least one widely acknowledged, international open access repository that is dedicated to open access.
• Open Access publishing, commonly referred to as Gold OA, is a type of open access when a publisher makes all articles and related materials linked to a specific journal immediately available for free on the website of the journal.
