Origins of the Open Access debate The Internet has led to unprecedented access and dissemination possibilities - Access should be easier and cheaper However, journal subscription prices have risen considerably over the past decades - Protests by researchers and libraries Need to make the best possible use of opportunities offered by the digital revolution - Room for improvement OpenAIRE presentation Lyon

What Open Access is not? An open access requirement is not a requirement to publish: researchers are free to publish or not Open access and commercial exploitation (e.g. patenting) are not at odds: open access only applies after the decision to publish has been taken Open access publications are not of lower quality than traditional publications: they have gone through the same peer-review process as non-OA publications Open access is not the same as open source, which applies to software OpenAIRE presentation Lyon
