 In which chapter can we find out more about OA economics?
OA removes price barriers. OA makes work more useful in both ways, by making it available to more people who can put it to use, and by freeing those people to use and reuse it. OA was defined in three influential public statements: the Budapest Open Access Initiative (February 2002), the Bethesda Statement on Open Access Publishing (June 2003), and the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities (October 2003). If there are complexities, they lie in the transition from where we are now to a world in which OA is the default for new research. In principle, any kind of digital content can be OA, since any digital content can be put online without price or permission barriers.
