Open access publications are journals & other online content that use a funding model that doesn't charge readers or their institutions for access. Users can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full-text of articles in open access journals. The only role for copyright is to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited. The rights to prevent plagiarism and the publication of corrupted versions of articles do not interfere with the primary goal of open access which is to promote and accelerate research and education.
