Open Access is when publications are available to anyone online, free of charge and with few restrictions on reuse. The unrestricted dissemination of research is especially important for authors, readers and funders.

“Open Access” is a catch-all term that includes both Gratis and Libre Open Access. More than 20 years ago, Open Access meant content available for free, with no price attached. This type of Open Access is now referred to as Free Open Access. Over time, as the concept of open access became more widely accepted, there was a need to be clearer about what users were allowed to do with content. This meant that users' rights had to be clearly stated. This type of Open Access has no price barrier and eliminates at least some permission barriers. It is called Libre Open Access. For reuse, commercial use, translation creation, etc. There are different levels of reuse permissions (as set out in six different Creative Commons licenses, for example), as well as different types of Libre Open Access.
