“on average across the NHS, [only] about a third of relevant journals were available free at the point of use”
http://bit.ly/MnfGEY Finch Report (June 2012), from data originally
reported in Heading for the Open Road: costs and benefits of transitions in scholarly communications,
RIN, PRC, Wellcome Trust, RLUK and JISC, 2011.
“many researchers … in smaller and less research-intensive institutions … do not have access to a sufficiently- wide range of titles”
http://bit.ly/MnfGEY Finch Report (June 2012), from data originally reported in Access to scholarly content: gaps and barriers, RIN,
Publishing Research Consortium and JISC, 2011.
“across central Government and its agencies, some 17% of relevant articles are available free at the point of use.”

in Heading for the Open Road: costs and benefits of transitions in scholarly communications, RIN, PRC,
Wellcome Trust, RLUK and JISC, 2011.
“lack of access … may mean that advice and inputs to policy-making are delayed or incomplete."
http://bit.ly/MnfGEY Finch Report (June 2012), from data originally reported
in Rightscom. Benefits of Open Access to Scholarly Research Outputs to the Public Sector, Report for the
Open Access Implementation Group, , 2012
“the voluntary sector … [often has to] rely on reports from research organisations and Government departments"

in Office for Public Management, Benefits of open access to scholarly research for VCS organisations, JISC
2012.
An article that is Open Access can be freely accessed by anyone in the world using an internet connection.
no subscription...
...no login or password
Some Open Access articles may also allow full or limited re-use of the content in the publication...
“... 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 work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.“
