• Open Access (OA) is the free, immediate, unrestricted availability of high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarly articles over the Internet combined with the rights to use this information to its fullest possible extent.
• Pay walls and price barriers have prevented students, teachers and researchers from getting access to research they need.
• As students, we are gradually losing already limited access to core academic research – research essential to a complete education.
• Open Access is an alternative publishing and distribution model that makes scholarly research literature - most of which is already funded by taxpayers around the world - freely available to the public online, without restrictions.
