Open access advocates for making research output widely available through open access repositories and policies. It highlights evidence that open access accelerates the research cycle by allowing more rapid discovery and uptake of findings. Open access repositories provide access to peer-reviewed articles, theses, reports and other materials. They help increase the visibility, usage and impact of research.
