Equal access to information is an important principle in a democratic society.</p><p>Some benefits achieved by open access:</p><ul><li><p><strong>Publically funded research is made available open access:</strong> Research that is paid for by the government should be available for everyone. Society should not need to pay for access to the research that they fund.</p></li><li><p><strong>Open access removes price barriers:</strong> Open access aims to break the existing financing model for journals (the subscription model) and instead create a model where one does not pay to access research results.</p></li><li><p><strong>Open access removes permission barriers:</strong> Open access gives everyone the same possibilities to access research publications. The use of open licenses makes it easier to share and use the work.</p></li><li><p><strong>Open access helps to disseminate knowledge:</strong> New knowledge is discovered faster when it is openly available. Removal of copyright barriers makes it easier for society to build on this knowledge. </p></li><li><p><strong>Open access ensures access in the future:</strong> Publications that are archived and made available in secure open repositories will be accessible also on the future.</p></li><li><p><strong>Open access lets the authors keep the rights to their own work:</strong> When publishing open access authors usually keep the rights to use their own work.</p></li></ul><h3>How achieve Open Access to research publications?</h3><p>There are several routes to achieve open access:</p><p><strong>1. Open archiving:</strong> Archiving scholarly articles, master theses, PhD theses, and other research material in an open repository ensures open access, also in the future.</p><p>Most publishers will permit that a version of an article is made available in an open archive. Usually the preprint or the author’s last peer-reviewed version, and not the final published version. The publisher will often demand an embargo on access to the full-text of between 6 and 24 months after the publication date.</p><p>The publisher in most cases will keep copyright and only give limited rights to reuse the publication. Users only get the right to read the publication and to use it privately.</p><p>There are different types of open archives: Institutional or national archives affiliated to one or more research institutions (for example <a href="http://bora.uib.no/" target="_blank">BORA</a> at the University of Bergen), subject based archives (for example <a href="https://arxiv.org/" target="_blank">arXiv</a> and <a href="https://www.biorxiv.org/" target="_blank">bioRxiv</a>), and archives affiliated to external research funders (for example <a href="https://zenodo.org/" target="_blank">Zenodo</a> and <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/" target="_blank">PubMed Central)</a>.</p><p>Research networks services like ResearchGate and Academica.edu are not open archives. They are commercial services that demand membership to get access to content.</p><p><strong>2. Publishing open access:</strong> In open journals all of the content is available open access immediately without an embargo. The author usually keeps copyright and the article is made available with an open license that permits reuse.</p><p>Open journals can either be free to publish in, or the journal will ask for an article processing charge (APC) to publish the work.</p><p>Books can also be published open access.</p><p>Many research institutions and organizations that finance research have established publication funds that can cover whole or parts of the charge (APC) to publish in open access journals or publish books open access.</p><p><strong>3. Publishing open access in a subscription journal:</strong> Individual articles in the journal are available open access by paying an article processing charge (APC). The rest of the articles in the journal are only available through subscriptions. This model is called hybrid open access.</p><p>The author usually keeps copyright and the articles are made available with an open license that permits reuse.</p><p>The difference between hybrid journals and open access journals is the publishing model. In an open journal all content is open, while most of the content in hybrid journals is available through subscriptions, with only individual articles made available open access.</p></div> </div> <div id="open-access-step-by-step"> <h2>Open Access – step by step</h2><div><p>Are you submitting an article to a journal?
