HomePublishing, communication and profilesPublishingOpen Access
Open Access (OA) is a set of principles and practices through which academic research outputs are made available publicly through online distribution, either via an OA journal, OA book, or inclusion in an institutional or disciplinary repository. The two institutional repositories at the University of Auckland are ResearchSpace and Institutional Figshare .
OA allows anyone to access peer-reviewed research articles and other scholarly materials for free. Research that is paywalled (i.e. you must pay to read it) can create barriers for students, researchers and individuals from developing countries or under-resourced institutions. OA promotes equal opportunities for learning, research and innovation, particularly for those who cannot pay for costly journal subscriptions. It also encourages greater collaboration among researchers and more rapid dissemination of knowledge, ultimately advancing scientific progress and benefitting society as a whole.
OA also enables authors to retain rights to their own work and determine how others use and share their work through the use of Creative Commons licenses. OA materials can include journal articles, creative works, books and book chapters, conference proceedings, theses, presentations, data, images and more.
