What is Open Access
 
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.
Open access licenses - Creative Common

Types of Open Access
Gold open access

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.
Open Access Discovery
Open access literature is defined as “digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions.” The recommendations of the Budapest Open Access Declaration —including the use of liberal licensing (such as CC BY)— are widely recognized in the community as a means to make a work truly open access.
