We are committed to provide hassle free access to all the scientific research freely to the community which allows anyone to read, copy, download, distribute and reuse the published research works without any legal, financial, ethical barriers.
Here are the key aspects of open access:
- Dissemination of new findings to a broader audience who have internet access and get benefited from the research without any financial barriers.
- Articles published in Open access model publishers have more visibility and receives more citations compared to non-open access model publishers.
- Open access publications decrease the gap between the scientific community and general public with access to latest research.
- Open Access works often use licenses (like Creative Commons) that allow authors to retain copyright while permitting others to use, share, and sometimes adapt the work under certain conditions.
- Authors pay the fee for publishing which covers the journals costs. Some Open access journals are funded by the Colleges or Universities which covers the publication charges of authors.
- By publishing articles in OA, there is an increased readership for researchers and facilitates knowledge sharing among disciplines.
- OA Improves citation rates and the overall impact of research.
- Open access supports open science initiatives and fosters trust in research findings.
