Open access policy

Many universities, government agencies, and research funders have open access policies that encourage or require researchers to make their work openly available. These policies help ensure public access to publicly funded research, and maximise the value of investment in research by ensuring that more readers can access research results and scholarship than if the works were available through restricted means alone (Rubow, 2015).
