Open-access journal publications aim to ensure that new
knowledge is widely disseminated and made freely acces
sible in a timely manner so that it can be used to improve
people’s health, particularly those in low- and middle in
come countries. In this paper, we briefly explain the dif
ferences between closed and open access journals, in
cluding the evolving idea of the ‘open access spectrum’.
We highlight the potential benefits of supporting open
access for operational research, and discuss the conun
drum and ways forward as regards who pays for open
access.
