Book Description
The advent of the internet and digital technologies has enabled information to be accessed and disseminated far more easily than ever before. Technological developments have swept away a whole range of restrictions that in earlier times impeded or prevented open access to knowledge, such as geographical barriers, time restrictions, delays in distribution of physical materials and barriers that limited the range of sources accessible by any one individual. Improved access to information benefits researchers by enabling them to study their field more broadly, reducing the amount of duplicative research, and assisting in the production of better informed - and therefore better quality - research. For these reasons, the open access movement aims to promote the dissemination of knowledge broadly and freely across the internet in a timely fashion.

Policy Guidelines for the Development and Promotion of Open Access
Author: Swan, Alma
Publisher: UNESCO Publishing
ISBN: 9230010529
Category : Political Science
Languages : en
Pages : 79
Book Description
UNESCO issued this publication to demystify the concept of open access (OA) and to provide concrete steps on putting relevant policies in place. Its focus is on scientific research from peer-reviewed journal articles. Building capacities in Member States for Open Access is a necessary but not sufficient condition for promotion of the concept. Creating an enabling policy environment for OA is therefore a priority. This publication will serve the needs of OA policy development at the government, institutional and funding agency level. The overall objective of the Policy Guidelines is to promote Open Access in Member States by facilitating understanding of all relevant issues related to Open Access. The guidelines are not prescriptive in nature, but are suggestive to facilitate knowledge-based decision-making to adopt OA policies and strengthen national research systems.
