Open access publications are scholarly articles that are freely available to the public, often without restrictions on reuse. This model of publishing aims to increase the accessibility and impact of research by removing financial barriers for readers.

They are freely available to the public without subscription fees or paywalls. This allows for greater dissemination of research findings and promotes collaboration among researchers worldwide.

Directive Publications is an open access publisher that focuses on providing high publication ethics1. They have established policies to ensure the integrity of their publications and adhere to the Code of Conduct and Best Practice Guidelines. Directive Publications aims to follow the ethical guidelines developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) as the best practice.

The ability to read publications by anybody, anywhere, at any time, is made possible by open access, which benefits all communities and may lead to more citations and author recognition.
