OA resources are all free.

Open access resources refer to academic literature, such as peer-reviewed scientific papers, research reports and dissertations. Users can read, download, copy, spread, print and retrieve the full text of the works free of charge through the Internet, regardless of registration, copyright, time, space and economic conditions.

The only restriction on users is that users should ensure the integrity of the author's works and indicate the corresponding citation information. OA resources are produced with the rise of OA movement in international academic circles, publishing circles and library and information circles, and use the Internet to freely spread and make free use of academic information and scientific research achievements.

It is a brand-new publishing mode based on digital network environment, and a brand-new academic information exchange and sharing mode based on the concepts of "freedom, openness, * * construction and * * *". It breaks the monopoly of academic journals, solves the problem that researchers can't get and use academic journals anytime and anywhere, and brings a brand-new concept and mode of literature resources construction and service to the library community.

At present, there are four types of open access resources: open access journals, open access knowledge bases, electronic publications and open access search engines.

Types of office automation resources:

1, Open Access Journal is a kind of online journal, and its papers have been peer-reviewed. Famous open access journals include DOAJ, Open J-Gate, BMC, PLoS, High WirePress, PMC, free full text, etc.

2. Open access warehousing is a mode in which the author puts academic research results in a specific format on the document server for users to use for free.

3. Electronic preprints refer to scientific papers, scientific reports and other articles that researchers have not officially published, but voluntarily published at academic conferences or through the Internet for the purpose of communicating with peers. For example, the e-print arXiv library established by American National Laboratory, domestic online scientific papers, domestic preprint service system, foreign preprint portal, miracle library, etc.
