This paper studied on the open access to public funded research articles in Korea. The 18% of articles published in the journals of the Korea Research Foundation was the output of research that received public fund. The field of engineering science had the most number of public funded articles and the most frequently supported funding agency was the KRF. But most of the public funded articles in Korea has been serviced through the commercial DBs, whereas the small number of articles serviced freely through the Korea Research Memory and NTIS. This paper proposed that the KRF will have to develop the open access policy focus on the engineering science.
