This template should only be used on references input as free text. Access signaling has been integrated in the CS1/2 citation templates. See the relevant documentation. |
Use {{closed access}} to indicate that a publication is not available under open access. Use {{open access}} to indicate that a publication is available under open access.
Most closed-access publications are behind a paywall and require a personal or institutional subscription to access their full text. Others, including several studies, require purchase.
Still, they can often be read an abstract or summary of a closed-access publication for free, even without a subscription.
For citations input with citation templates such as {{cite journal}}, use the relevant parameters (such as |doi-access=free
) to indicate the access level for a given identifier.
