Summary:

Abstract:  UNESCO's sustainable development goal no 4 tries to ensure quality education for all by 2030. In this regard availability of quality educational resources free of cost in public domain is much required. Commercial publishers have been part of academia since ages whose sole purpose is monetary gain by selling academic contents to academia which are produced by academin itself.

Due to this, a large portion of world's public funded research output lies behind the paywall, limiting the availability of education and research related content in public domain. This not only deprives the open education and learning activity but also creates a barrier between rich and poor institutions in accessing contents behind the paywall

To remove this barrier, the Open Access(OA) movement started aiming to create a sustainable environment of learning and bridging ways of research publication that ensures to save the intellectual right of authors but the content be used and accessed. The current article does a review of the remains free to be OA movement and enlightens about the global policies and projects actively running in support of it.
