Publish in Open Access

OA-icon

Open Access (OA) is the free, immediate, online access to the results of scholarly research, and the right to use and re-use those results as you need. 

The basic idea of OA is simple: Make research literature and outputs available online without price barriers and without most permission barriers. 

It accelerates discovery and impact, while creating a more equitable system of knowledge that is open to all.

Advantages

Broader visibility and impact: Open Access means open to anyone, anywhere to read, share and reuse. That means connecting with interdisciplinary researchers in other fields as well as peers in your community.

Accelerated discovery: With Open Access, your work is immediately available and globally discoverable. When researchers can read and build on the findings of others without restriction, science advances faster.

Public enrichment: Open Access allows everyone to benefit from your advancements by providing teachers, students, funders, and policymakers equal access to the latest research findings throughout the world
