Open Access policies

Open Access policies are rules that encourage or require researchers to make their scholarly work freely available to the public online. This means that research articles, data, and findings are accessible without subscription or payment, promoting wider dissemination and transparency. The goal is to increase the reach of scientific knowledge, support innovation, and foster collaboration. These policies often mandate that authors share their work through open repositories or journals, ensuring that anyone can read and use the research, thereby accelerating progress across various fields.
