• Open Access

• Some useful open stuff for CPD
What is Open Access (OA)?
• Digital/online
• Free of charge for the end-user
• Free of most copyright and licensing restrictions
• Two main vehicles for delivering OA to research articles:
– OA journals
– OA archives or repositories
• Expands readership – those outside academia can
easily access your research and it can increase citations
and impact
Green or gold?
• Immediate open access
• Published version of the output
• Often (not always) involves
payment of an Article
Processing Charge (APC)
• Copy can go in a repository
• Normally the final accepted
manuscript – “post print”
• Institutional or subject repository
• No APC’s
• Can involve embargo periods
Drivers for open access
• Subscription costs
• Impact agenda
– Citations
– Impact of research beyond academia
• The “public good”
• Funder requirements
Access to research outside academia
• 75% of malaria professionals in Africa can’t get beyond

• UK - Access to journal articles free at the point of use

publishers who have made their journal content available
