Open access (OA) refers to free, unrestricted online access to research outputs such as journal articles and books

Basically: Open Access means that the results of scientific work, in form of publications in peer-reviewed journals are freely accessible to the general public.

Open Access could be applied to all kinds of research content such as published journal articles, book chapters, monographs or research data.

Open access term applies to scientific journals, whereas open science is a wider term, applicable to the research workflow and processes, in general.

With open access you, as a non-scientist, can learn what they did.

In open science you make accessible not just the final results, but also your raw data, software used to analyse it, lab notebooks...

With open science you can in principle repeat their analysis, or even make your own analysis of their data to maybe find something they overlooked.

Open Science or Open Research is a much broader term which is the conduction and dissemination of research in a more transparent and collaborative way.

Thus when e.g. User experiments post their papers to publicly accessible servers and publish in journals that allow free electronic access, it is open access. But when they release the collected data and analysis programs, it is open science.
