Abstract/Notes Excerpt: What is "open access" and what are its implications? One answer is rather pragmatic; open access is a means to provide access to the scientific literature to anyone with a computer and an internet connection, at no charge to the user.1 Thus, anyone may access the information,which is stored in a central digital repository (i.e., the Public Library of Science, BioMed Central) and use that material for scholarship, teaching or personal investigation. And another explanation of the answer is that "open access" is simply a different business model for publication,one which shifts the costs for use onto those who publish the material from those who read the material. As one can thus see, impetus for this came in part from a desire by policy makers and legislators to see that those who fund scientific research (the public) have access to that research without having to pay for it yet again by means of a subscription price. While the cost of subscribingto journals such as JMPT or JCCA remains relatively modest, the costs for journals such as Spine or in the physics literature can be many times those fees, making it hard for the average scientist to afford the journal, the average library to subscribe to all the journals it feels it should in order to represent its scholarly constituency, and to the reading public, who has already paid for that work by means of their taxes.
