“Open Access” (OA) refers to the free, immediate, online access to the results of scholarly research, and the right to use and re-use those results as you need (with attribution). It has the power to transform the way research and scientific inquiry are conducted. It also has direct and widespread implications for academia, medicine, science, industry, and for society as a whole.
