OPEN ACCESS PUBLICATIONS AND NEW INITIATIVES FOR KNOWLEDGE DISSEMINATION

What is it about?

Open access is a broad international movement providing free and open online access to academic information, such as publications and data. A publication is defined as 'open access' when there are no financial, legal, or technical barriers to accessing it, which means that anyone can read, download, copy, distribute, print, search for and search within the information, or use it in education or in any other way permitted by the legal agreements. In this study, we highlight the different modes of publication, especially an elaborate discussion about open-access publications. Open access is a publishing model for scholarly communication that makes research information available to readers for free, as opposed to the traditional subscription model, which requires readers to pay a subscription. This study highlights the most popular open-access journal finder and journal suggestion tools, publication ethics and guidelines, and the significant benefits of open access. Open-access journals increase the visibility and reuse of academic research findings
