Open Access Explained

Meaning of Open Access

In accordance with major definitions in the scientific, ARA defines open access by the following conditions:

• The peer-reviewed literature is freely available without subscription or price barriers;

• The literature is immediately released in open access format (with no embargo period);

• Published material can be reused without obtaining permission as long as a correct citation to the original publication is given.

ARA journal publishes articles using the CC BY license, which grants authors the most extensive rights. This means that all articles published in ARA journals, including their data, graphics, and supplementary material, can be linked by external sources, scanned by search engines, and reused by text mining applications, websites, or blogs, free of charge under the sole condition that the source and original publisher are properly accredited. ARA believes that open access publishing fosters the exchange of research results amongst scientists from different disciplines, thus facilitating interdisciplinary research. Open access publishing also allows for the dissemination of scholarly findings to researchers worldwide, including those from developing countries, and to the general public.

Advantages of Open Access for Authors

• The High Availability and Visibility of our open access articles are guaranteed through their free and unlimited accessibility over the Internet. Everyone can freely access and download the full texts of all articles published with ARA; this means that our readers, i.e., mostly other researchers, do not need to pay any subscription or pay-per-view charges. Open access publications are also more likely to be included in search engines and indexing databases.

• Lower Publishing Costs: Lower publishing costs are ensured by open access publishers, who cover their costs for editorially processing papers by charging authors' institutes or research funding agencies. The cost of handling and producing each accepted article is covered through the one-time payment of an article processing charge (APC). ARA's article processing charge (APC) is the same, irrespective of article length.

• Faster Publication in ARA's open access journals is achieved by online and print availability.
