Research accessibility refers to making scientific studies, data, and findings available and understandable to a broad audience, including non-experts. It involves removing barriers—such as paywalls, complex language, or limited formats—so more people can access, interpret, and use research information. This promotes transparency, enhances public understanding, and encourages informed decision-making across various sectors. Ensuring research accessibility supports equitable knowledge sharing and fosters a more inclusive environment where everyone can benefit from scientific advancements.
