Research data management in libraries involves the organization, storage, sharing, and preservation of research data. This includes providing resources and services for data management planning, data curation, data sharing, and data preservation. Libraries also play a role in educating researchers on best practices for managing their data for effective reuse and reproducibility. With the increasing volume and complexity of research data, libraries are essential partners in ensuring the long-term accessibility and usability of valuable research data.

An open access article is a scholarly research article that is made freely available to the public, allowing anyone to read, download, copy, distribute, and reuse it without any financial, legal, or technical barriers. Open access articles are published under licenses that grant these permissions, promoting the dissemination and accessibility of knowledge.
Open access articles provide immediate and unrestricted access to the findings of scholarly research, benefiting not only researchers but also students, educators, policymakers, and the general public. By removing subscription barriers, open access articles aim to overcome the limitations of traditional publishing models and promote the global sharing of knowledge.

In this model, the article is made freely available on the publisher's website immediately upon publication. Authors may be required to pay an article processing charge (APC) to cover the costs of publishing.
Green open access
In this model, the article is made available in a repository or archive, such as an institutional repository or a subject repository, after an embargo period. The embargo period is typically set by the publisher and can range from a few months to several years. Authors may be required to comply with certain conditions, such as depositing a specific version of the article or providing a link to the published version.
