<p>The Wikipedia Library <a class="mw-selflink-fragment" href="#What_The_Wikipedia_Library_can_do">supports open access</a>. It's one of our five critical goals, in fact. To understand why we still collaborate with traditional publishers, see our <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:WHYNOTOA" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:WHYNOTOA">helpful explanation</a>. Those collaborations are complementary to advancing towards a fuller, more open future for knowledge. </p><p><b><a href="/wiki/Open_access" title="Open access">Open access</a> (OA)</b> is the right and freedom to read research, generally online, and ideally with the ability to reuse it without restraint. <i>Gratis</i> OA is that freedom to read, and <i>Libre</i> OA is the full freedom to read and reuse. The full freedom, as defined in the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOIA) includes: </p> <dl><dd>"free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited."</dd></dl> <p><b>The Wikipedia Library</b> is an open research hub serving the Wikimedia community of contributors. We are interested in all projects and partnerships that help editors do better research. While we have been successful in receiving <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:TWL/Journals" class="mw-redirect" title="Wikipedia:TWL/Journals">donations to paywalled (closed access) resources</a> from publishers like <a href="/wiki/Elsevier" title="Elsevier">Elsevier</a> and <a href="/wiki/JSTOR" title="JSTOR">JSTOR</a>, we support the broader move towards open access. For more information about why our strategy focuses on paid partnerships, see <a href="/wiki/Wikipedia:The_Wikipedia_Library/Whynotoa" title="Wikipedia:The Wikipedia Library/Whynotoa">our explanation</a>. We recognize that a modern library should help editors find and use open access resources, because they are increasing in number and quality, and because they provide an optimal experience for readers of the encyclopedia when they try to access and verify the sources used on Wikipedia. This page is about ways in which you, and we, can keep the world moving not just towards open knowledge but towards open access to the research that underlies it. </p> <meta
