Why publish open access journals?

In the traditional closed access model followed by many scientific publishers, the access to published articles is available only if authors pay to access individual articles from publisher’s website or libraries purchase subscription to journals at hefty price. This restricted access to published research is detrimental to the interests of authors, readers and the scientific community as a whole. The research of authors reaches a very limited scientific community and readers and libraries have to pay huge amount for subscriptions. Open access publishing benefits you in both your roles - as an author and as a reader.

All published articles are freely available to all readers, in any part of the world.

Free availability of your work published under open access means more citations for your articles and increased impact of your work.

Authors also benefit from work of other researchers published under open access. They are free to download and read their work and this provides you with the latest, peer-reviewed research information without charges.

Authors retain the copyright of their articles, which means they can freely reproduce and distribute their work. No permission is required from the publisher to use their own work as happens in traditional subscription based journals.

Everyone in the academic community has immediate and free access to the results of your research.

The articles published under open access are fully citable.

What is the criterion of publication in the journals?

The journals accept articles based only on scientific validity and methodological soundness with emphasis on research integrity and high ethical standards. We believe that if research is scientifically valid and technically sound then it deserves to be published for the research community.
Articles are not rejected based on any subjective determination of novelty of the study, impact in a given field, or degree of advancement to existing literature. Every article has option for post-publication discussion by the readers who are most qualified to judge the importance of any particular paper.
