What is Open Access?

Open Access is an initiative that aims to make scientific research freely
available to all. To date our community has made over 100 million downloads.
It’s based on principles of collaboration, unobstructed discovery, and, most
importantly, scientific progression. As PhD students, we found it difficult to
access the research we needed, so we decided to create a new Open Access
publisher that levels the playing field for scientists across the world. How? By
making research easy to access, and puts the academic needs of the researchers
before the business interests of publishers.

Our authors and editors

We are a community of more than 103,000 authors and editors from 3,291
institutions spanning 160 countries, including Nobel Prize winners and some of
the world’s most-cited researchers. Publishing on IntechOpen allows authors to
earn citations and find new collaborators, meaning more people see your work not
only from your own field of study, but from other related fields too.
