Article Processing Charges
Open Science, an independent publisher committed to ensuring peer-reviewed research, is Open Access – it provides immediate open access to its content on the principle of making research freely available to the public and supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
The Benefits of Open Access
Open Access has four broad benefits for science and the general public.
First, authors are assured that their work is disseminated to the widest possible audience, given that there are no barriers to access their work. This is accentuated by the authors being free to reproduce and distribute their work, for example by placing it on their institution's website. It has been suggested that free online articles are more highly cited because of their easier availability.
Second, the information available to researchers will not be limited by their library's budget, and the widespread availability of articles will enhance literature searching and facilitate meta-analyses.
Third, the results of publicly funded research will be accessible to all taxpayers and not just those with access to a library with a subscription. As such, Open Access could help to increase public interest in, and support of, research.
Fourth, a country's economy will not influence its scientists' ability to access articles because resource-poor countries (and institutions) will be able to read the same material as wealthier ones (although creating access to the internet is another matter.
