"Digital Scholarship provides information and commentary about digital copyright, digital curation, digital repository, open access, scholarly communication, and other digital information issues."
Scientific information is both a researcher's greatest
output and technological innovation's most important
resource. Open Access (OA) is the provision of free access
to peer-reviewed, scholarly and research information to
all. It requires that the rights holder grants worldwide
irrevocable right of access to copy, use, distribute, transmit,
and make derivative works in any format for any lawful
activities with proper attribution to the original author.
Open Access uses Information and Communication
Technology (ICT) to increase and enhance the
dissemination of scholarship. OA is about Freedom,
Flexibility and Fairness.
