Description
Summary:This study discusses Open Access and scientific publication. That is, open access to scientific information via the internet. A network-based tool that can help enable and distribute published research globally. Research is considered a resource that should be free of restrictions such as copyright barriers or agreements among publishers. Colleges and University libraries suffer from high costs due to digital scientific publications, while increased profits fall on commercial publishers. Digitization and free access to scientific resources could contribute to socio-economic and environmental-related sustainable development in the society.
