Open Access to Research

The principle of Open Access (OA) to research has long been part of the academic philosophy of many researchers. Over the past 20 years, the internet has made this sharing of research much more practical.

However, there are often assumptions and questions surrounding the idea of making your research openly available. In this issue of Taylor Matters we will address the ideas of funding agency requirements, journal quality and impact factors, subject archives, and author rights.
