Abstract:

The world of research and scientific publishing is moving and evolving at a rapid pace. The internet has dramatically changed both the way we do and share research and the way we access and preserve information. Open access(OA) can overcome the hurdles and the barriers to provide an excellent plat form for delivering and sharing scholarly data and results. OA is a global trend which influences the workflow in scientific and scholarly journals. There is no longer a debate about whether the results of research should be freely accessible. All that remains is to work out when and how access will be enabled.

Key words: scientific and scholarly journal, open access, global trend
