Thousands of paywalled research papers could be freed with this simple fix
Abstract
Publicly funded research underpins much of daily life, from policy decisions to innovation and public debate. When research remains inaccessible, its value is diminished. Australia has made real progress on open access to research. In 2024, around 59% of papers authored by researchers in Australia were freely available online.
