EURAB 06.049 European Research Advisory Board Final Report: Scientific Publication: Policy on Open Access. December 2006 Open Access Journals OA journals are published exclusively on-line and use a funding model that does not charge readers or their institutions for access. The key attributes of such journals (Suber, 2006) are: - OA journals conduct peer review.
- OA journals typically let authors retain copyright.
- Some OA journal publishers are non-profit (e.g. Public Library of Science) and some are for-profit (e.g. Biomed Central).
- Less than half are based on the 'author-pays' model and all have commitment to ensure that ability to pay is not a factor so page charges con be waived.
- Users have the right to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of all articles published in the journal (Budapest Open Access Initiative, 2003).
