Open-access journal
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Open-access
journals are scholarly journals that are available online
to the reader "without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those
inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself."[1] Some are subsidized,
and some require payment on behalf of the author. Subsidized journals are
financed by an academic institution, learned society or a
government information center; those requiring payment are typically financed by
money made available to researchers for the purpose from a public or private
funding agency, as part of a research grant. There have also been several
modifications of open-access journals that have considerably different natures:
hybrid open-access journals and delayed open-access journals.
Open-access journals
(sometimes called the "gold road to open access") are one of the two general
methods for providing open access. The other one (sometimes
called the "green road") is self-archiving in a repository. The publisher of
an open-access journal is known as an "open-access publisher", and the process,
"open-access publishing".
