What is open access? Open access refers to publications that are
made freely available in the public domain. Recent debate about
open access has centered on publicly funded research, such as the
publication of medical research funded by the National Institutes
of Health. Free access to such publications is consistent with
the expectation that taxpayer-funded research should be
accessible to the public, whether through the Internet,
libraries, and various forms of printed or online material.
