Open Access (OA)
Definition of "open access" from the Budapest Open Access
Initiative (BOAI):
"By 'open access' to this literature, we mean its free availability
on the public internet, permitting any users to read,
download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full
texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as
data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose,
without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those
inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only
constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role
for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control
over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly
acknowledged and cited."
