Open Access Licenses

Scilit considers publications as "open access" if any of the following conditions are met:

If the version of record (VoR) has been immediately released under an open access license as per CrossRef licensing data. If the DOI landing page includes machine-readable metadata that indicate an open access license. Links to free PDF versions are provided, where available. These links have been included from external sources, such as PubMed Central, CORE, Unpaywall and other open repositories.

Please note that it is the responsibility of Scilit users to verify the licensing conditions before further using or redistributing any content presented on Scilit. If you are not sure about the licensing terms, we advice that you contact the original publisher of the relevant publications.
