Kaimahi: Wintec Research kete o te wānanga: Open Access Publishing

In line with Tertiary Education Commission (TEC) requirements, our students benefit from our academic staff being active researchers who keep abreast of and contribute to knowledge creation in their respective fields.

Introduction

Open access (OA) encompasses a set of principles and a diverse array of practices that facilitate the online dissemination of research outputs, without imposing any financial or restrictive access barriers. It goes beyond mere cost-free access by enabling the legal sharing and reuse of freely available outputs through the utilization of open licenses, typically in the form of Creative Commons Licenses.

The initial formulations of open access were initially introduced during the Budapest meeting in 2002, followed by the Berlin and Bethesda gatherings in 2003.

Open Access Journals

Open access to publications refers to the possibility to freely access research publications. These are divided into:

  • Gold Open Access: research outputs that are publications in an open access journal,
  • Green Open Access: research outputs that are publications in a journal that are also available in an open access repository,
  • Hybrid Open Access: research outputs that are publications in a subscription journal that are open access with a clear license,
  • Bronze Open Access: research outputs that are published in a subscription journal that are open access without a license.
