Open Access is a publishing model in which peer-reviewed scholarly articles are made freely available on the internet without restrictions on subsequent use except that the work is properly attributed to the author and the author’s control over the integrity of their work is preserved.

Many research funding bodies now require that research they fund is published according to the Open Access model.  > more details on Open Access models.
