Making your research openly accessible is more important than ever. Open access (OA) increases the visibility, reach, and impact of your work by making it freely available to a global audience. As defined by SPARC, "Open Access is the free, immediate, online availability of research articles coupled with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment. Open Access ensures that anyone can access and use these results—to turn ideas into industries and breakthroughs into better lives."
