What Are the Challenges in Implementing Open Access?
Despite its benefits, implementing OA comes with challenges: 1. Funding: OA publishing often incurs article processing charges (APCs), which can be prohibitive for some researchers. 2. Quality Control: Ensuring the quality and credibility of OA journals is crucial, as there are concerns about predatory publishers. 3. Institutional Support: Academic institutions need to provide more robust support for OA initiatives, including funding and advocacy.
