Open Access (OA) refers to the worldwide movement to make scholarship widely available through toll-free strategies including discipline-specific, governmental, and institutional repositories (IRs). The “green OA” approach requires scholars to reexamine their historical relationship with publishers and encourages close scrutiny of who owns scholarship and how to ensure its broad dissemination by eliminating price and other access barriers. Managing copyright is central to providing OA.
