Open access (OA) literature is digital content that is available online for free, without restrictions on use or redistribution. There are two main types of OA: self-archiving content in repositories (green OA) and publishing in OA journals (gold OA). Major statements on OA include the Budapest Open Access Initiative and the Bethesda Statement. Institutional and disciplinary repositories archive and provide access to scholarly works. Directories like the Directory of Open Access Journals and the Open Access Directory help locate OA content and information. Benefits of OA include wider dissemination of research and potential citation advantages, while challenges include issues around funding models and publisher resistance.
