Open Access movement

The Open Access movement advocates for free, unrestricted online access to research publications and scholarly work. It aims to eliminate paywalls and subscription barriers so that anyone—students, researchers, or the general public—can read and benefit from academic knowledge without cost. This promotes greater dissemination of ideas, accelerates innovation, and enhances educational opportunities. Open Access is driven by the belief that publicly funded research should be freely available to all, fostering transparency and collaboration across disciplines and communities.
