Open access to scholarly publications by definition means that research publications can be read online free of charge and without hindrance. This is one of the pillars of open science. Through open access, research results are available to as many people as possible as quickly as possible.
The benefits of open access are obvious, but achieving them requires cultural change and redistribution of the publishing costs.
