What is Open Access?

Answer

Open Access is a publishing model where research is distributed online, free of charge to the users. A list of fully open access journals can be found on the DOAJ (Directory of Open Access Journals) website. Be aware when using open access – while most open access journals follow industry best practices for peer review and the dissemination of scholarly activities, there are predatory journals that are exploiting the model for profit.
