1. Open Access Options
Open Access Publishing: Open access (OA) is when a book, article, the-
sis or dissertation is provided digitally, online, free-of-charge, and free of
most copyright and licensing restrictions. Making publications open ac-
cess ensures the widest distribution, and thus increases the chances that
the research will be used and cited by others, rather than requiring a
purchase or subscription to gain access. NAU’s open access option,
OpenKnowledge@NAU, is free of charge and provides long-term storage
and free public access. If you wish to make your work open access within
the ProQuest delivery platform as well, a fee will be applied by ProQuest.

or sensitive material, you may wish to prevent access temporarily (called
an embargo). See the FAQ and the ProQuest guidelines on selecting an
embargo period. The student is responsible for renewing an embargo by
contacting the administrator at OpenKnowledge@NAU
([email protected]) and ProQuest ([email protected]).

ever, copyright registration with the US Office of Copyright provides more
formal protection against usage infringements. ProQuest can register
your copyright for a fee. You may also self-register your copyright at
http:copyright.gov/eco.
