"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.
Yet a large and mostly invisible gap remains. Hundreds of thousands of
Australian research papers remain locked behind publisher paywalls, even though
many of them could legally be shared right now.
This is because much of our open-access potential is never activated. However,
there are simple ways to fix this, as we have shown with a recent university
library initiative. Our results are now published in
IFLA Journal."
