Open Access

What is Open Access?

Traditionally, subscription-based journal publishers or owners retain the copyright of published articles. Individuals or institutions wishing to access full-text articles must pay a subscription fee. Additionally, those seeking to use any content in any format must obtain permission from the publisher or owner and may need to pay additional fees.

Open access ensures that research outputs are available online to all readers without barriers. Authors retain the copyright of their work under this publishing model. Readers can use and share content as long as they adhere to the license adopted by the publisher. Generally, publishers charge authors for article processing to cover publication costs, which may be funded by research sponsors, institutions, or authors themselves.
