More institutions followed suit in the following years. Argentina, Brazil, and Poland are currently in the process of developing open access policies.
Making master's and doctoral theses open access is an increasingly popular mandate by many educational institutions. In the US, the NIH Public Access Policy has required since that papers describing research funded by the National Institutes of Health must be available to the public free through PubMed Central PMC within 12 months of publication.
In , US President Joe Biden's Office of Science and Technology Policy issued a memorandum calling for the removal of the month embargo. In , the Council of the European Union recommended the implementation of an open-access and not-for-profit model for research publishing by the European Commission and member states.
These recommendations are not legally binding and received mixed reactions. While welcomed by some members of the academic community, publishers argued that the suggested model is unrealistic due to the lack of crucial funding details. Furthermore, the council's recommendations raised concerns within the publishing industry regarding the potential implications, and they also emphasized the importance of research integrity and the need for member states to address predatory journals and paper mills.
As of March , open-access mandates have been registered by over research funders and universities worldwide, compiled in the Registry of Open Access Repository Mandates and Policies. Tools such as SWORD can help authors manage sharing between repositories.
Gender inequality still exists in the modern system of scientific publishing. In terms of citation and authorship position, gender differences favoring men can be found in many disciplines such as political science, economics and neurology, and critical care research.
For instance, in critical care research, Open access OA publishing can be a tool to help female researchers increase their publications' visibility, measure impact, and help close the gendered citation gap.
OA publishing is a well-advocated practice for providing better accessibility to knowledge especially for researchers in low- and middle-income countries as well as increasing transparency along with the publishing procedure [21,22].
Publications' visibility can be enhanced through OA publishing due to its high accessibility by removing paywalls compared to non-OA publishing. Additionally, because of this high visibility, authors can receive more recognition for their works.
OA publishing is also suggested to be advantageous in terms of citation number compared to non-OA publishing, but this aspect is still controversial within the scientific community. The association between OA and a higher number of citations may be because higher-quality articles are self-selected for publication as OA.
Considering the gender-based issues in academia and the efforts to improve gender equality, OA can be an important factor when female researchers choose a place to publish their articles.
With a proper supporting system and funding, OA publishing is shown to have increased female researchers' productivity. A study has found "most OA articles were written by authors in high-income countries, and there were no articles in Mirror journals by authors in low-income countries.

Archived from the original on 18 May Britt; Mitcham, Carl eds. Aspects of the article, such as subject and audience, tone, and format, are other things you can look at when evaluating whether the article you're using is valid, reputable, peer-reviewed material.
So, let's break that down into various components so you can assess your research to ensure that you're using quality articles and conducting solid research.
Peer-reviewed articles are written by experts or scholars with experience in the field or discipline they're writing about. What credentials does the author have to indicate that their research has scholarly weight behind it? Finding out what type of degree the author has—and what that degree is in—can provide insight into what kind of authority the author is on the subject.
A look at what organization or institution they are affiliated with can tell you a lot about their experience or expertise. Where were they trained, and who is verifying their research? The ultimate goal of a study is to answer a question. Scholarly articles are also written for scholarly audiences, especially articles that have gone through the peer review process.
This means that the author is trying to reach experts, researchers, academics, and students in the field or topic the research is based on. Think about the question the author is trying to answer by conducting this research, why, and for whom. What is the subject of the article?
What question has it set out to answer? What is the purpose of finding the information? Is the purpose of the article of importance to other scholars? Is it original content? Research should also be approached analytically. Is the methodology sound? Is the author using an analytical approach to evaluate the data that they have obtained?
Are the conclusions they've reached substantiated by their data and analysis? Reliable articles from peer-reviewed sources have certain format elements to be aware of. The first is an abstract. An abstract is a short summary or overview of the article.
Does the article have an abstract? Peer-reviewed journals will also have a word count range. If an article seems far too short or incredibly long, that may be reason to doubt it. Another feature of reliable articles is the sections the information is divided into.
Peer-reviewed research articles will have clear, concise sections that appropriately organize the information. This might include a literature review, methodology, and results in the case of research articles and a conclusion.
One of the most important sections is the references or bibliography. This is where the researcher lists all the sources of their information. A peer-reviewed source will have a comprehensive reference section.
An article that has been written to reach an academic community will have an academic tone. The language that is used, and the way this language is used, is important to consider. If the article is riddled with grammatical errors, confusing syntax, and casual language, it almost definitely didn't make it through the peer review process.
Also consider the use of terminology. Every discipline is going to have standard terminology or jargon that can be used and understood by other academics in the discipline. The language in a peer-reviewed article is going to reflect that. If the author is going out of their way to explain simple terms, or terms that are standard to the field or discipline, it's unlikely that the article has been peer reviewed, as this is something that the author would be asked to address during the review process.
The source of the article will be a very good indicator of the likelihood that it was peer reviewed. Where was the article published? Was it published alongside other academic articles in the same discipline?
Is it a legitimate and reputable scholarly publication? A trade publication or newspaper might be legitimate or reputable, but it is not a scholarly source, and it will not have been subject to the peer review process. Scholarly journals are the best resource for peer-reviewed articles, but it's important to remember that not all scholarly journals are peer reviewed.
University libraries, institutional repositories, and reliable databases and you now might have a list of some legit ones can also help provide insight into whether an article comes from a peer-reviewed journal.
Research is a lot of work. Perhaps you searched for access to scientific journals for free and found the perfect peer-reviewed sources, but you forgot to document everything, and your references are a mess. Or, you only searched for free online articles and missed out on a ground-breaking study that was behind a paywall.
Whether your research is for a degree or to get published or to satisfy your own inquisitive nature, or all of the above, you want all that work to produce quality results. You want your research to be thorough and accurate. To have any hope of contributing to the literature on your research topic, your results need to be high quality.
You might not be able to avoid every potential mistake, but here are some that are both common and easy to avoid. One of the hallmarks of good research is a healthy reference section. Using a variety of sources gives you a better answer to your question. Even if all of the literature is in agreement, looking at various aspects of the topic may provide you with an entirely different picture than you would have if you looked at your research question from only one angle.
As you conduct your research, do yourself a favor and write everything down. Everything you include in your paper or article that you got from another source is going to need to be added to your references and cited. It's important, especially if your aim is to conduct ethical, high-quality research, that all of your research has proper attribution.
Academia is an ever-changing landscape. What was true in your academic discipline or area of research ten years ago may have since been disproven. If fifteen studies have come out since the article that you're using was published, it's more than a little likely that you're going to be basing your research on flawed or dated information.
OA is a great resource for conducting academic research. There are high-quality journal articles available through OA, and that can be very helpful for your research. But, just because you have access to free articles, that doesn't mean that there's nothing to be found behind a paywall.
Just as dismissing high-quality peer-reviewed articles because they are OA would be limiting, not exploring any paid content at all is equally short-sighted.
If you're seeking to conduct thorough and comprehensive research, exploring all of your options for quality sources is going to be to your benefit. Research is an art form, and it involves a delicate balance of information.
If you conduct your research using only broad search terms, you won't be able to answer your research question well, or you'll find that your research provides information that is closely related to your topic but, ultimately, your findings are vague and unsubstantiated.
On the other hand, if you delve deeply into your research topic with specific searches and turn up too many sources, you might have a lot of information that is adjacent to your topic but without focus and perhaps not entirely relevant.
It's important to answer your research question concisely but thoroughly. Different types of scholarly articles have different purposes. An original research article, also called an empirical article, is the product of a study or an experiment.
This type of article seeks to answer a question or fill a gap in the existing literature. Research articles will have a methodology, results, and a discussion of the findings of the experiment or research and typically a conclusion.
Review articles overview the current literature and research and provide a summary of what the existing research indicates or has concluded. This type of study will have a section for the literature review, as well as a discussion of the findings of that review.
Review articles will have a particularly extensive reference or bibliography section. Theoretical articles draw on existing literature to create new theories or conclusions, or look at current theories from a different perspective, to contribute to the foundational knowledge of the field of study.
Use the right academic journal database for your search, be that interdisciplinary or specific to your field. Or both! Start by using search terms that are relevant to your topic without being overly specific. Learn to use Booleans AND, OR, NOT to expand or narrow your results.
Read through abstracts when trying to find articles relevant to your research. Keep track of your research and use citation tools. Free articles can be found through free online academic journals, OA databases, or other databases that include OA journals and articles.
These resources allow you to access free papers online so you can conduct your research without getting stuck behind a paywall. There are often, in fact, publication fees that scholars pay in order to publish. Journal articles can be found in databases and institutional repositories that can be accessed at university libraries.
However, online research databases that contain OA articles are the best resource for getting free access to journal articles that are available online. Peer-reviewed journal articles are the best to use for academic research, and there are a number of databases where you can find peer-reviewed OA journal articles.
Once you've found a useful article, you can look through the references for the articles the author used to conduct their research, and you can then search online databases for those articles, too.
Peer-reviewed articles can be found in reputable scholarly peer-reviewed journals. High-quality journals and journal articles can be found online using academic search engines and free research databases.
These resources are excellent for finding OA articles, including peer-reviewed articles. OA articles are articles that can be accessed for free. There are databases that are interdisciplinary and cover a variety of topics. For example, Paperity might be a great resource for a chemist as well as a linguist, and there are databases that are more specific to a certain field.
So, while ERIC might be one of the best educational databases available for OA content, it's not going to be one of the best databases for finding research in the field of microbiology. There are interdisciplinary research databases that provide articles in a variety of fields, as well as research databases that provide articles that cater to specific disciplines.
Additionally, a journal repository or index can be a helpful resource for finding articles in a specific field. When searching an interdisciplinary database, there are frequently advanced search features that allow you to narrow the search results down so that they are specific to your field.
You can also try databases that are specific to your field. If you're searching for law journal articles, many law reviews are OA. The short answer is yes, peer-reviewed articles are more legitimate resources for academic research.
The peer review process provides legitimacy, as it is a rigorous review of the content of an article that is performed by scholars and academics who are experts in their field of study.
The review provides an evaluation of the quality and credibility of the article. Non-peer-reviewed articles are not subject to a review process and do not undergo the same level of scrutiny. This means that non-peer-reviewed articles are unlikely, or at least not as likely, to meet the same standards that peer-reviewed articles do.
As with anything, some databases are going to be better for certain requirements than others. But, a scholarly article database being free is not a reason in itself to question its legitimacy.
Free scholarly article databases can provide access to abstracts, scholarly article websites, journal repositories, and high-quality peer-reviewed journal articles. The internet has a lot of information, and it's often challenging to figure out what information is reliable.
Research databases and article directories are great resources to help you conduct your research. Our list of the best research paper websites is sure to provide you with sources that are totally legit.

| 21 Legit Research Databases for Free Journal Articles in | Scribendi | Even though research is largely produced with public dollars by researchers who share it freely, the results are hidden behind technical, legal, and financial barriers. This fundamental mismatch between what is possible with digital technology—an open system for communicating research results in which anyone, anywhere can contribute—and our outdated publishing system has led to the call for Open Access. Open Access is the free, immediate, online availability of research articles combined with the rights to use these articles fully in the digital environment. Open Access is the needed modern update for the communication of research that fully utilizes the Internet for what it was originally built to do—accelerate research. Funders invest in research to advance human knowledge and ultimately improve lives. Open Access increases the return on that investment by ensuring the results of the research they fund can be read and built on by anyone. Breakthroughs often come from unexpected places ; the Theory of Relativity was developed by a patent clerk. Open Access expands the number of potential contributors to research from just those at institutions wealthy enough to afford journal subscriptions to anyone with an internet connection. Researchers benefit from having the widest possible audience. Researchers provide their articles to publishers for free, because their compensation comes in the form of recognition for their findings. Open Access means more readers, more potential collaborators, more citations for their work, and ultimately more recognition. The research enterprise itself benefits when the latest techniques can be easily used. For years, we have had powerful text and data mining tools that can analyze the entire research literature, uncovering trends and connections that no human reader could. Even the best ideas remain just that until they are shared, until they can be utilized by others. The more people that can access and build upon the latest research, the more valuable that research becomes and the more likely we are to benefit as a society. More eyes make for smaller problems. A decade ago, the scientific community recognized that to move from open access to open science, The high cost of college textbooks and scholarly journals puts many students and institutions at a Home Who We Are About SPARC People Members Governance Contact Us What We Do Popular Resources Projects Policy News Events Why It Matters Open Access Open Education Open Data Impact Stories Become a Member.
