The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.” Open Access can be implemented as “green road”, when authors publish in any journal and then self-archive a version of the article for free public use in repositories, or as “golden road”, when authors publish immediate in an open access journal. “Gratis” Open Access is no-cost online access, “libre” Open Access is gratis open access with some additional usage rights. As the holders, managers and keepers of cultural heritage, archivist support Open Access by providing their resources on the Internet and publishing theirs articles in repositories and OA journals."
