User’s aspect
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.
Author’s aspect
Author’s aspect
The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be given to authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.
- Refereed free electronic journals,
- Research-area-specific archive
(e-print) servers,
- Institutional repositories of individual universities/institutions and
- Self-posting/archiving on authors'
home pages.

An Institutional repository is an Organization based set of services which the organization offers to the members of its community for the management and dissemination of digital materials created by the institution and its community members. It is most essentially an organizational commitment to the stewardship of these digital materials, including long-term preservation, where appropriate, as well as organization and access or distribution” (Clifford Lynch 2003)
“Digital archives of intellectual products created by the faculty, staff and students of an institution or group of institutions accessible to end users both within and outside the institution.”

Research material is hosted and managed on an Institutional Repository server, using appropriate IR software

Accessible on the organizational LAN (intranet) + Internet/private network
Scientists use a web browser to submit (deposit) research material and also search the repository
Through OAI inter-operability protocol, a central search service ‘Harvests” metadata from individual IR’s, builds a cross-index and provides single point cross-repository search service
Security concerns could be handled at network, IR and publication level

The ROMEO project at Loughborough investigated publishers’ attitudes to mounting of pre- and post-prints on servers
Yellow publishers allow preprints but not postprints; blue ones postprints but not preprints; green ones both; white neither
61% of publishers on the current SHERPA list formally allow some form of self-archiving; 38% out of the 61% are “green”

Two complementary strategies:
Self-Archiving: Scholars should be able to deposit their refereed journal articles in open electronic archives which conform to Open Archives Initiative standards
Open-Access Journals: Journals will not charge subscriptions or fees for online access. Instead, they should look to other sources to fund peer-review and publication (e.g., publication charges)
