OPEN ACCESS POLICY

Open Access is an international academic movement that seeks to provide free access to scholarly publications on the Internet. Open Access publications may be freely read, downloaded, copied, distributed, printed, used for educational purposes, or legally used in other ways.

The main reason for authors to post their work in Open Access is to reach a wider audience, increase the visibility of scientific work for other researchers, increase their use of scientific results and, as a consequence, increase the impact factor. The more an article is used and cited, the more references are made to it and the more papers are based on it, the better for the research and career of the scientist.

The direct users of scientific articles are, for the most part, other researchers. Open access helps them as readers by giving them access to articles in journals not subscribed to by their libraries.

Publication in open access journals is one of the most common ways for authors to achieve open access mode for their scholarly work. Unlike other sources of dissemination of scientific information, journals are peer-reviewed and thus ensure the high quality of published scientific information. Articles from open access journals are easy to find on the Internet.
