Open access (OA) means unrestricted access via the Internet to peer-reviewed scholarly research.
There are two roads to OA:
1. the "golden road" of OA journal-publishing , where journals provide OA to their articles (either by charging the author-institution for refereeing/publishing outgoing articles instead of charging the user-institution for accessing incoming articles, or by simply making their online edition free for all)
2. the "green road" of OA self-archiving, where authors provide OA to their own published articles, by putting them up online or in an institutional repository where all can access.
