Open Access (OA) at Purdue
What is Open Access?
Open Access (OA) provides free, immediate, and unrestricted online access to scholarly research, which is often locked behind paywalls and accessible only through costly subscriptions. OA changes that—removing barriers and making research freely available to anyone, anywhere in the world.
Open Access empowers researchers, students, and the public by promoting greater visibility, increased citation, and broader impact of scholarly work. By removing access barriers, OA accelerates discovery, supports innovation, and ensures that knowledge produced at Purdue reaches a global audience—without restrictions.
