Advantages of Open Access for Authors

Open access publishing offers substantial advantages for authors by providing unrestricted and permanent online access to their published work, thereby maximizing its visibility and global dissemination. The enhanced accessibility of open access articles significantly increases their potential to be read and cited, as research findings can be accessed by a broader academic and non-academic audience without subscription barriers. In addition, open access improves the discoverability of scholarly work through greater visibility in search engines and indexing across major academic databases. Authors also benefit from the immediate online publication of accepted manuscripts, which facilitates the timely communication of research outcomes and accelerates the impact of their scholarly contributions.
