The open access icon represents the global movement making research publications freely available online without subscription barriers or paywalls.
This symbol identifies content licensed for free reading, downloading, and often reuse, embodying the principle that publicly-funded research should be publicly accessible.
The unlocked padlock design has become the universal indicator for barrier-free scholarly communication across disciplines.
