Abstract
Open access can no longer be limited only to the providing access; such an initiative also needs to cover mechanisms of how to attract users of such sources and let them participate and involve them into the process of the added value creation and innovation. In order to create a sustainable and effective community around the open access resources, it is necessary to redefine the ?approval mechanisms? of the scientific community, to boost social networking potential and to support the community-based solutions to minimalize costs.
