What is Open Access? Anyone may read, download, copy, distribute,
print, search, or link to the full text of articles
What Open Access is not? It is not self-publishing, nor a way to bypass the peer-review process. Not a “stick anything on the web” approach
So long as authors and original publishing source is properly acknowledged through citation
