Open access typically focuses on access to ‘scientific information’, which refers to two main categories • Peer-reviewed scientific research articles (published in academic journals)• Scientific research data (data underlying publications and/or raw data)
Open AccessOpen Access has become central importance to advancing the interests of
researchers, scholars, students, business, and the public as well as librarians.
Increasingly, institutions that support research from public and private research funders to higher education institutions are implementing policies that require researchers to make articles that report on research generated
from their funding openly accessible to and fully useable by the public.
