Open Access enables unrestricted and free access to scientific literature. There are several models:

The secondary publication of an essay or book as open access on university servers. - Hybrid Open Access
First publication of an article as open access in a closed access journal.
In the majority of cases, there are costs associated with open access publishing. In some cases, subscription costs are converted into publication costs.
