Open Access As A Mechanism To Support Scientific Research: Opportunities And Challenges
Authors : Kherouf Djihane . Boumarafi Behdja .
Abstract
Open Access has reshaped scholarly communication by removing financial, legal, and technical barriers to research output, promoting wider dissemination, higher citation impact, and equitable access to information. Global initiatives such as the Directory of Open Access Journals (DOAJ) and national platforms like the Algerian Scientific Journal Platform (ASJP), along with institutional repositories, have strengthened the adoption of Open Access and enhanced visibility of academic production. However, the movement still faces challenges, including sustainable funding, predatory publishing practices, copyright issues, and inconsistent policy implementation at institutional and national levels. This paper explores the role of Open Access in supporting scientific research through a qualitative documentary analysis of its main opportunities and challenges, while examining international and Algerian initiatives that shape the future of scholarly communication.
