Open Access (OA) is the practice of providing unrestricted, immediate access via the Internet to peer-reviewed scholarly journal articles. This also increasingly includes theses, scholarly monographs, and book chapters. By reducing the barriers that restrict access to knowledge, Open Access maximizes the opportunity for publications to be read and for authors to be recognized for their contributions.

• Enhanced Accessibility: Open Access makes knowledge available to all, removing the barrier of affordability and restrictions on using it to inform and develop related areas of research.
• Increased Visibility & Impact: OA offers authors enhanced visibility, leading to greater usage of their work and a higher potential impact within their field and beyond.
• Accelerated Research: By reducing barriers to knowledge, Open Access directly accelerates research and learning, fostering quicker scientific advancements.
• Broader Readership: Open Access brings new audiences to scholarly content, expanding readership beyond traditional academic circles.
• Reduced Budget Pressure: It eases pressure on library budgets, allowing librarians to focus more on connecting users with high-quality content.
