Why publish with Open Access?
- Your research becomes available for researchers and institutions that normally can’t afford to keep increasingly expensive journal subscriptions.
- Because your research is more available and more visible than it would be in a subscription journal, it can make a larger impact in the academic environment. Open Access publications also tend to have more citations than publications in non-OA journals.
- Your research is made available to the public and can influence the public discussion.
- The institutions that provide funding for the research demand that the research is given Open Access. EU, ERC and The Research Council of Norway demand that their funded publications are made Open Access.
