1.3. Open Access

What is open access?

Open Access is a broad international academic movement to make academic information freely available through the internet for everyone. It means that the open access articles can be freely available to read, download, copy, translate, distribute, print, or re-use it in education or another way within the legal agreements, and there are no financial, legal or technical barriers.

Ariviyal open access

All the Ariviyal owned journals (Nano Progress, Green Reports, Applied Research Frontiers, and Chemical Science and Engineering Progress, and Numerical Analysis and Applicable Mathematics) are open access and internationally peer-reviewed. The main purpose of open access is to make pipeline between authors’ research outcomes and our valuable readers for free of cost. All papers published by Ariviyal are freely available for readers under an open access license (Creative Commons (CC BY 4.0) license). Ariviyal articles published under the CC BY license are freely accessible and free to re-use by everyone with proper accreditation/citation of the original publication.

In general, authors are asked to pay an Open Access (APC) for publishing an article in an open access journal under a Creative Commons CC BY license. The APC covers all the expenses involved in the publication process (peer-review, copy editing and hosting the final article on dedicated servers). The ACP is paid by authors only after the manuscript is accepted for publication. However, Ariviyal charges no Open Access or submission charge for the articles published in 2018-2019. There are no processing charges or submission charges for rejected articles and editorial items such as corrections, additions and comments.

Open access has enormous importance and advantages for researchers, lecturers, students, administrators and publishers.
Available to All The open access articles are freely available and accessible over the internet. Everyone can download the article without any charge or subscription.
Visibility and Citation Since the open access articles are freely available; it creates maximum chances to be read and to be cited more frequently than the articles published by conventional journal.
Publication Speed Open access journals are often online-only published. Thus, the accepted articles are more rapidly published online than the traditional, subscription-based and printed journals.
