IFLA Open Access Vocabularies

This resource is a PDF of some key terminology used in open access. Unlike many glossaries, it does cite its sources for definition - but this is also a weakness because it does not, therefore, appear like they have taken a range of definitions and collated/merged them into one broad definition. Additionally, this appears to be aimed at journals. One benefit is that it does contain some translations, while other glossaries that may be more comprehensive and considered (such as the OAPEN toolkit one) are in English only. This was produced in May 2024 so it is very up to date.
