New knowledge sharing models

Open access (OA) refers to online, digital and freely available information. Open access academic literature is free and often involves less restrictive copyright and licensing barriers than traditionally published works, for both users and authors.

What is Open Access?

OA introduces new publishing models, mainly academic and scientific, with the aim of making scientific information accessible to everyone free of charge. This is made possible both through the publication of digital works that can be consulted for free (Author's pay model, Gold OA) and through the creation of open archives freely accessible online (Green OA) where scientists can self-archive their articles.
Ledizioni offers the possibility of following both strategies to spread scientific and academic knowledge at all levels and adhering to the DECREE-LAW of 8 August 2013, n. 91 "Fare Cultura" and to LEGGE 7 ottobre 2013, n. 112.
