Version 2 of JISC's OA briefing paper JISC has published version 2 of its Open Access Briefing Paper (dated September 2, 2006, but apparently released this week). The first edition from April 2005 was written by Alma Swan; the second incorporates revisions by Fred Friend. Excerpt: The World Wide Web has provided the means for researchers to make their research results available to anyone, anywhere, at any time. This applies to journal articles regardless of whether or not their library has a subscription to the journal in which the articles were published as well as to other types of research output such as conference papers, theses or research reports. This is known as Open Access. |
