Open Access is an initiative that allows immediate access\u2014without registration, subscription, or payment\u2014to digital educational, academic, scientific, or other types of material. This means that anyone can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full text of documents resulting from research, teaching, or artistic activity.<\/p>\n
The aim is to eliminate the economic, legal, and technological barriers that hinder access to intellectual production, and in return, to achieve greater accessibility to documents and greater visibility for authors, since documents that are freely available are more frequently consulted and more likely to be cited.<\/p>\n
Furthermore, scientific and technical knowledge and advances are distributed as widely as possible, thus returning to society the fruits of the investments made in scientific research.<\/p>\n
He European Union Framework Programme for Research and Innovation Horizon Europe<\/a> It stipulates that recipients of European funding must ensure open access to all peer-reviewed scientific publications related to the project's results. To this end, they must guarantee, at a minimum, that the publications can be read online, downloaded, and printed. Furthermore, they must facilitate free access to the data used in the research, making it easy to locate, accessible, interoperable, and reusable.<\/p>\n For its part, the Law 17\/2022, of September 5, amending Law 14\/2011, of June 1, on Science, Technology and Innovation<\/a>, Article 37 states: Authors have two paths to achieve Open Access:<\/p>\n Open access is perfectly compatible with copyright and intellectual property, since it is the rights holder who decides and explicitly establishes what users can and cannot do with their documents. This is indicated through the use of licenses such as Creative Commons<\/a>.<\/p>\n Check out these infographics on open access created by REBIUN<\/a>:<\/p>\n See also the\u00a0Tutorial: "Control your rights, facilitate open access"\u00ab<\/a><\/p>\n

Research staff in the public sector or whose research activity is mainly funded by public funds and who choose to disseminate their research results in scientific publications, must deposit a copy of the final version accepted for publication and the data associated with it in open access institutional or thematic repositories, simultaneously with the date of publication<\/em><\/p>\n\n
