In my opinion, the top journals should have free access for better documentation. Do you agree?
Yes, let us initiate a petition conveying this genuine concern to to journals in the interest of academia
Yes, I fully agree in the above opinion. Free access to scientific knowledge should be developed.
I agree with you all. What's the next step? A petition to top journals to provide us free access ?
Yes, let us initiate a petition conveying this genuine concern to to journals in the interest of academia
It is a good idea so long as the journals do not reduce the quality level of those publications just because it is free access.
American journals smell only money. 50 dollar for one page.

Yes, it would be very good, but the top journals earn their income through publication fees,so how can we change the status.
Dear, I support the idea of top journals to have free access for documentation and dessemination of work for greater impact.
Yes, I agree that public journals should have free access to better documentation.
Of course, and not only the top journals. All journals should have a free access
RG is becoming an open access quality journal with worldwide impact, if you may have noticed.
RG is acting as an open access journal for most of good quality new publications, if any paper not freely available, we can request authors to provide the article of interest, but paying for publishing paper is not justifiable & who will pay. Doing good quality work also needs good amount of money. However, journals can relax the access of publications.
I think journal can not make it freely avilavle without publication fees. Some journal publication fees is very high ( over 3000-5000 USD). Fee can be within 1000 usd, funding authority can pay this fee. All of our active hand can be make publication freely accesable. There should also have alternative option for whom have no fund.
Yes I agree. Of course, all the journals. Some journals charge a fee for printing, which is a big hurdle. Some journals are fortunate to be sponsored and receive no funding from researchers, and this is a good move.
Free open access is very useful and helps share knowledge worldwide. Many international high impact journals nowadays have this option for their readers.
