OpenAccess

OpenAccess refers to a movement in academic publishing that ensures research articles are freely available to the public online. Instead of being behind paywalls or subscription services, OpenAccess allows anyone to read, download, and share scientific and scholarly work without cost. This promotes wider dissemination of knowledge, encourages collaboration, and accelerates scientific progress. OpenAccess can be achieved through authors, institutions, or funding agencies paying publication fees, or by publishers adopting open models. Overall, the goal is to make scholarly research more accessible, transparent, and beneficial for society.
