Open Access Initiative

The Open Access Initiative is a movement that promotes making research articles and academic papers freely available to everyone online. Its goal is to remove paywalls and subscription barriers, allowing researchers, students, and the public to access knowledge without cost. This fosters greater sharing of information, accelerates scientific progress, and improves education. Essentially, it advocates for equitable access to scholarly work, encouraging publishers and authors to publish openly so that knowledge benefits society as a whole rather than just a privileged few.
