Open Access & Open Data

Open access (OA) means
unrestricted access via the
Internet to peer-reviewed
scholarly research.
There are two roads to OA:
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 putting them up online or in an
institutional repository where all can access.
