%X UNESCO issued this  publication to demystify the concept of open access (OA) and to provide  concrete steps on putting relevant policies in place. Its focus is on scientific research from peer-reviewed journal articles.

Building  capacities in Member States for Open Access is a necessary but not  sufficient condition for promotion of the concept. Creating an enabling  policy environment for OA is therefore a priority.
