Support
JPCOAR provides comprehensive support for the development of open access repositories through the formulation of guidelines, technical assistance, and training programs.
What is Open Access?
Open Access (OA) allows anyone to freely access and use scholarly articles via the internet. However, OA does more than just promote equal access to information.
By fostering the sharing and reuse of research outcomes, OA generates ripple effects that further encourage interdisciplinary research and innovation, ultimately returning those results to society. Making an article Open Access also benefits the author.
