By “open access” to [peer-reviewed research 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
