• Access & use is explicitly expressed upfront – not
dependent on access copyright, payment of fees,
proprietary owner permission
• Easily & quickly adapted
• Customization & enhancements don't require large
investments
• Errors, improvements, & feature requests are openly
shared & managed
• Development, distribution & use is
community/consortia based
• Sustainability relies on sharing - resources,
development, hosting & support
• Users are developers

18. Free, immediate, permanent
online access to the full text
of research articles for
anyone, webwide.
There are two roads to OA:
Open Access 1. the "golden road" of OA journal-
publishing , where journals provide OA to their
articles (either by charging the author-institution
for refereeing/publishing outgoing articles instead
of charging the user-institution for accessing
incoming articles, or by simply making their online
edition free for all)
2. the "green road" of OA self-archiving,
where authors provide OA to their own published
articles, by making their own eprints free for all.
