Definition of open access
By open access to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public Internet,
permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the
full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or
use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers
other than those inseparable from gaining access to the Internet itself. The only
constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this
domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the
right to be properly acknowledged and cited.

Professor Josef Syka, Chair of the Science Policy
http://goo.gl/2eh32 Briefing and EMRC Core Group member, commented:
Open Access Week 2012
The turnover of information in biomedical sciences is
very fast, so rapid delivery of information is needed at a
fair price.
Open access publishing has the potential to
revolutionise the way in which biomedical
scientists publish and access the latest results.
The EMRC supports open access publishing as the
ultimate goal to maximise the discoverability process,
the access to and the re-use of biomedical research
results in Europe.
