Welcome to Open Access Disk!

This is a start up collection of documents meant as an introduction to Open Access for all those interested in scholarly communications and new publication models. The main audience would be all researchers, scholars, university and high school teachers, university librarians, research librarians, archivists, and all those who work in the information science field.
This tool is a grass root dissemination instrument and should not be considered as a finished product nor a complete coverage of Open Access domain. All important documents are translations in Romanian language and all have their equivalent in English. Only a small fraction of documents don't have their equivalent in Romanian language as they are latest additions to the Open Access Disk put for their value and insights.
We only hope that our efforts will come as an opening to new directions in Romanian research and development and also as a marker for the future evolution.
This version of the disk is the first version being considered the starting point for Romanian Open Access advocacy as this dissemination instrument is thought to be in a continuous development.
