It means that research results can be read by anyone at any time without having to go to a library that subscribes to a journal or request it through interlibrary loan. Communications Many Federal funding agencies are requiring grant recipients to provide open access to their research results by publishing in open journals or paying to provide open access to their articles. Many publishers offer an open access option for a fee. GSIS Meetings members have developed tables providing information on Options for Open Access Publishing in the Geosciences and Open Access Journals in the Geosciences. Awards Why is open access important? The cost of journals and serials has increased much faster than the rate of inflation. As a result, Libraries can no longer afford to buy all of the journals needed to support teaching and research by faculty. Government Geoscience agencies provide research grants to promote scientific discovery and innovation and improve the economy. More people Resources benefit if the results of that research is available to the widest possible audience. Historical More often than not, people are turning to the Internet for information. While the Internet can be searched to provide almost Information immediate information on a topic, that information may not be scientifically sound. For example, an openly accessible Heritage Foundation report on climate change states: “The persistence of coral reefs through geologic time . provides substantive evidence that these marine entities can successfully adapt to a dramatically changing global environment. (1)” This statement ignores the fact that some corals in the fossil record no longer exist. The scietific articles that might refute this statement are not openly accessible. The scientific articles that might refute this statement are not openly accessible. Shouldn’t the evidence be available for everyone to read? Researchers can promote open access by publishing in open access journals, paying open access publishing fees, posting or depositing preprints (copies of articles submitted to journals) or postprints (copies of the article after peer review) on their web sites or in institutional repositories, managing their copyright to ensure that they retain some rights to their work, and complying with (and encouraging) open access policies.

Predatory Publishers The growth of open access had spawned the development of a new kind of publisher, known as Predatory Publishers, that exist to generate revenue from author fees paid by unsuspecting authors. They and their practices have been described in several recent articles: Beall, Jeffrey, 2012. Predatory Publishers are Corrupting Open Access. Nature, Volume 489, Issue 7415.
