Research-based knowledge based on solid methodologies is essential in every domain.

There are two types of knowledge:

(1) knowledge related to the profession/job, which assists in technological and economical progress.

and (2) basic knowledge of various subjects (history, geography, art, literature, ecology) - I think this knowledge may become even more important in the development of our civilization.

In a world of fake information, gossiping and false news, real proved information means power either in politics or social matters.

"Knowledge has become the key resource, for a nation's military strength as well as for its economic strength... is fundamentally different from the traditional key resources of the economist - land, labor, and even capital...we need systematic work on the quality of knowledge and the productivity of knowledge ... the performance capacity, if not the survival, of any organization in the knowledge society will come increasingly to depend on those two factors" (Drucker,1994).

Knowledge is becoming important in our economies and Society at large, to the extent that a new expression has been coined to baptize this development phase: the knowledge-based economy.

Knowledge is important due to the fact that it creates awareness and solve problems.

Enhancement of social and political values is essential for proper development of knowledge and knowledge institutions in the society.

Knowledge base of the society has been magnified, but threats to human existence has been also increased many-fold. It is due to improper management of resources without any vision and values.

Society has to experience the rights of non-voiced people and the environment, and develop a machinery who observes the health of the society and the environment. Human greed of growth and developments is biggest hindrance to develop such values, which should be controlled by the nations and the platforms of the United Nations.

Every blade has two sides.

The present technology based knowledge and its practice may lead to some new problems like failure of the next generation people to think in versatile directions. Innovations may stop or may be totally dependent on technology for that reason.

As an example, one question may be asked. How many of modern day school student can perform simple calculations without calculator?

Follow.

The significance of knowledge is enormous but we have to be careful in what really constitutes knowledge because not everything we hear is necessary knowledge but ultimately from the so many things that we here and produce every single day in the form of knowledge it is possible to say that the significance of knowledge for development in the 21st-century depends on the knowledge that we consider significant.

Dear Colleagues and Friends from RG,

I suggest continuing the discussion on the following topic:

Determinants of open access to knowledge on the Internet.

The formula of open access to scientific knowledge on the Internet as an important determinant of the development of science.

The above discussion inspired me to formulate the following question:

Should all scientific knowledge be fully available in the form of open access on the Internet?

On the basis of the above considerations and conclusions from the discussion on interesting issues discussed, I formulated the following thesis that scientific journals, including articles published in them and other scientific publications should be fully available in the form of open access on the Internet. The formula of open access to scientific knowledge on the Internet is an important determinant of the development of science, including scientific research in current knowledge-based economies. Below I have described the key determinants confirming the formulated research thesis. To the above discussion I would like to add the following conclusion formulated as a summary of my previous considerations on this topic: The importance of open access to scientific knowledge on the Internet as an important factor in the development of science.

Yes, I fully agree. Scientific journals should enable, offer free, open access to their archival issues of previously published editions of the journals. Scientific journals are currently one of the most important forms of publishing scientific papers and presenting the results of scientific research. In addition, it is the best form of promotion for research teams and their ongoing research projects. Considering that renowned, high-scoring, Impact Factor scientific journals are usually international journals, it is now, together with online indexing databases of scientific publications and journals, the best global information medium in the world of science. More and more international scientific journals, in addition to classically published editions, also conduct electronic publishing and publication processes and publish electronic editions of individual issues of the scientific journal. Individual electronically published issues of the scientific journal are available via the Internet to other People, Internet Users, including researchers and scientists interested in specific issues operating in a specific scientific discipline. If the electronically published individual issues of the scientific journal are made available without restrictions, i.e. in free access, it increases the likelihood of interest in a specific issue described in the scientific article and the results of the research conducted by a larger group of potential recipients, Internet users, researchers and scientists. In this way, the likelihood of quoting a particular researcher, scientist, specific issue of research and obtained results from scientific research, which has been published in an article published in an electronic edition of a scientific journal, also increases. In addition, access to electronic, online databases for the indexation of scientific papers, articles, magazines and other scientific publications should be open and free for the same reasons I have given above.

I believe that scientific publications made available in open, free and unlimited access are an important element in the development of the formula for open access to knowledge resources on the Internet. Open access to scientific knowledge resources is an important factor facilitating the development of science. Of course, never all human knowledge will be 100 percent. digitized and even more accessible without restrictions via the Internet in open access. At least because part of the knowledge that is accumulated in specific central institutions of the state will always be considered top secret and will not be made public. The new technologies that the scientists work on in the labs on behalf of their corporations are also not made public until they are used on an industrial scale in the production of specific goods. However, as much of the scientific knowledge as possible should be available in public open access via the Internet. This process is fostered by the development of ICT information technologies, Big Data database systems, data collection and processing in the cloud computing, the development of online libraries in which the collections of digitized scientific publications and other knowledge collections are gradually increased, etc. In this way, the development of science and civilization can take place effectively. In this way, faster humanity can solve key problems of civilization development.

In the context of the issue of open, free access to scientific publications indexed on editorial pages and databases, the question recently arises about the issue of full open access to scientific knowledge on the Internet. To answer the question: Can all of the accumulated knowledge resources in computerized databases, Internet-connected databases of large information collections, and knowledge databases gathered in Big Data systems be widely available in open access? In my opinion, if not all knowledge is the largest possible part of knowledge, including first of all knowledge from scientific research, it should be widely available in open access for citizens via the Internet. This is an important factor in the development of the information society and the development of the knowledge-based economy. The issue of monetizing the sharing of specific knowledge resources on the Internet is also related to the above issue. I also believe that the largest possible amount of information, especially knowledge resulting from scientific research, should not be burdened with high fees, so that citizens, including researchers and scientists, teachers, students and pupils, can use these knowledge resources without unnecessary restrictions.

To sum up, in my opinion, open access to knowledge resources, including scientific knowledge, is largely determined by the development of open internet innovations. Open innovations have been developed in recent years, among others, mainly on the Internet. Research shows that the dissemination of open innovations and open knowledge bases is an important issue for building a sustainable economy in a technologically developed and developing country. In addition, the dissemination of open innovations and open knowledge bases is also a key issue for the development of highly competitive knowledge and technology based factor markets. The dissemination of open innovations and open knowledge bases is also an important determinant of the possibility of reducing information and knowledge asymmetry between producers, service providers, financial institutions etc. and their clients. The dissemination of open data sources and open knowledge tools is conditional on a reduction in the cost of knowledge acquisition. This issue correlates with the development of open databases and open libraries and knowledge databases available on the Internet. In addition, the editors of scientific journals should make available, open and free access, published current and archived issues of a given scientific journal. In connection with the above, I believe that scientific journals, including articles published in them and other scientific papers should be fully available in the form of open access on the Internet. Therefore, the dissemination of open innovations and open knowledge bases is necessary for the effective development of a knowledge-based economy. I described these issues in my publications, which are available on the Research Gate portal. I invite you to scientific cooperation.

In line with the above, in my opinion, scientific journals, including articles published in them and other scientific publications should be fully available in the form of open access on the Internet. The formula of open access to scientific knowledge on the Internet is an important determinant of the development of science, including scientific research in current knowledge-based economies.

Do you agree with me on the above matter?

I conduct research in this area. The conclusions of the research I published in scientific publications that are available on the Research Gate portal.

In view of the above, I am asking you the following questions:

- Should all scientific knowledge be fully available in the form of open access on the Internet?

- Is the formula of open access to scientific knowledge on the Internet an important determinant of the development of science, including scientific research in current knowledge-based economies?

- Should scientific journals, including articles published therein and other scientific publications be fully available in the form of open access on the Internet?

- What do you think about this topic?

- What is your opinion on this topic?

Please reply.

I invite you to discussion and scientific cooperation.

Thank you very much.

Best wishes.
