Free, immediate, permanent
              online access to the full text
              of research articles for
              anyone, webwide.
              There are two roads to OA:



Open Access    1.          the "golden road" of OA journal-
              publishing , where journals provide OA to their
              articles (either by charging the author-institution
              for refereeing/publishing outgoing articles instead
              of charging the user-institution for accessing
              incoming articles, or by simply making their online
              edition free for all)
              2.           the "green road" of OA self-archiving,
              where authors provide OA to their own published
              articles, by making their own eprints free for all.
