Infrastructure Services for Open Access

"Infrastructure Services for Open Access C.I.C. (is4oa) is a Community Interest Company based in the United Kingdom....

The company’s activities will provide benefit to the global community of users of openly accessible research publications and data.

During the recent decade research results (publications) have increasingly been published in journals using an Open Access model which is different to the existing dominant model based on subscriptions (reader pays). However Open Access publications are not always easy to discover and locate.

The activities of our company will facilitate easy access to Open Access resources by providing a free-to-use discovery service for all users and a means to enable libraries to integrate Open Access publications in their services (library catalogues, web-portals etc.)

Founded by Dr. Alma Swan and Dr. Caroline Sutton...."
