Advantages of Open Access for Authors
|
High Availability and High Visibility of open access articles is guaranteed through the free and unlimited accessibility of
the publication over the Internet without any restrictions. Everyone can freely access and download the full-text of all
articles published with IJESET. Readers, mostly other researchers, of open access journals do not need to pay any
subscription or pay-per-view charges to read articles published by IJESET. open access publications are also more easily
included and searchable in search engines and indexing databases.
Higher Citation Impact of open access articles due to their high publicity and availability. It has been demonstrated that

Less Costly — Open Access Publishers cover their costs for editorial handling and editing of a paper by charging
authors' institutes or research funding agency. The cost of handling and the production of an article are covered through the
one-time payment of nominal publication fee for each accepted article.
Faster Publication in IJESET's open access journals is achieved by the online-only availability. Accepted articles are
typically published online more rapidly in IJESET journals than traditional, subscription-based and printed journals [4].

Financing Open-Access Journals
Open-access journals divide into those that charge publication fees and those that do not.
Fee-based open-access journals
|
Fee-based open-access journals require payment on behalf of the author. The money might come from the author but
more often comes from the author's research grant or employer.

Why does IJESET have article publication charges (APC)
|
IJESET is published in full open access format. The scientific community and the general public can unlimitedly and
immediately access all content published in our journals for free as soon as it is published on the Internet. This means that
IJESET does not have any income from selling subscriptions to print or online versions of its journals or from charging
"pay-per-view" fees. Therefore, IJESET needs to defray its editorial and production costs by collecting processing charges
from authors' institutes or research funding bodies. IJESET is committed to keep its open access publication charges at a
minimum level. Already now, IJESET's charges—if calculated per page—are much lower than the revenues per published
page that traditional, subscription-based academic publishers can generate.
