What is OA scholarship?
OA Scholarship is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. What makes it possible is the internet and the author’s or copyright holder’s consent. What it means for academia and research is that cost and access restrictions are removed from the equation, allowing free access to peer-reviewed scholarly works, books, and just about any other electronic print material designated as such, making research more widely available across the global landscape faster.
