Open
research is research conducted in the spirit of free and open source
software. If the research is scientific in nature it is frequently
referred to as open science; open research can also include social
sciences and the humanities...
o·pen re·pository
"What is an open repository?" I said, "You mean, in contrast to a closed one? ... It's a repository that's open for everyone. Think of it like a public library, but no card is required." --Jim Downing, 2007 http://praxis101.com/blog/archives/000095.html
Public Access vs. Open Access
Public Access means free to read but not free to reuse without consulting copyright holder.
Open Access refers to the combination of free to read plus free to reuse.
For more details, see the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences & Humanities
