A common goal, a common language: IFLA Open Access vocabularies publication

The spread of Open Access represents one of the successes of the library and research fields over the last quarter century. It is essential, across the library field, to work together to make a reality of open access through librarians’ advocacy and practice. To help in this, IFLA’s Open Science and Scholarship Advisory Committee is happy to share its Open Access vocabulary, which brings together the most widely used terms and definitions. This is intended to act as a reference guide, providing a route for more librarians into advancing openness.
