  • What is Open Access?  (OA) literature is free, digital, and available to anyone online. An open-access article has limited copyright and licensing restrictions which means anyone, anywhere, with access to the Internet may read, download, copy, and distribute that article. As with any scholarly article — traditional or otherwise — authors of an open-access article should be properly acknowledged and cited.
