Open Access
Open
Access (OA) means unrestricted online access to
peer-reviewed scholarly research. It provides immediate,
worldwide, barrier-free access to the full text of research
articles without requiring a subscription to the journal in
which these articles are published. Based on the original BOAI statement
(Budapest
Open Access Initiative) we signed(http://www.budapestopenaccessinitiative.org/list_signatures),
readers are allowed to copy, use, distribute, transmit and
display the work publicly and to make and distribute
derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible
purpose, subject to proper attribution of authorship.
These Open Access charges replace subscription charges and
allow the publishers to make the published material freely
available to all interested online readers and audiences. At
the same time, authors who publish in Open Access journals
retain the copyright of their article. Other than their
cost-recovery model, Open Access journals are no different
from traditional subscription-based journals; they undergo
the same peer-review and quality control as any other
scholarly journal. Moreover, Open Access allows for maximum
visibility, uptake and use of the published material.
TEXTROAD journals apply the Creative Commons
Attribution Non Commercial 4.0 License (CC BY-NC 4.0) to all
manuscripts to be published.
An Open Access Publication is one that meets the following
two conditions:
1. The author(s) and copyright holder(s) grant(s) to all
users a free, irrevocable, worldwide, perpetual right of
access to, and a license to copy, use, distribute, transmit
and display the work publicly and to make and distribute
derivative works, in any digital medium for any responsible
purpose, subject to proper attribution of authorship, as
well as the right to make small numbers of printed copies
for their personal use.
2. A complete version of the work and all supplemental
materials, including a copy of the permission as stated
above, in a suitable standard electronic format is deposited
immediately upon initial publication in at least one online
repository that is supported by an academic institution,
scholarly society, government agency, or other
well-established organization that seeks to enable open
access, unrestricted distribution, interoperability, and
long-term archiving.
