How Open Access Benefits Authors and Researchers:
- Increased Visibility and Citations: Open access articles tend to have a higher readership, which can lead to increased citations and greater impact within the scientific community.
- Broader Public Engagement: Open access allows non-specialists, including educators, policymakers, and industry professionals, to benefit from scientific findings, bridging the gap between research and application.
- Compliance with Funders’ Requirements: Many research funders and institutions now require that publications derived from their funding be openly accessible. Publishing with the Algerian Journal of Biosciences ensures compliance with these mandates.
Algerian Journal of Bioscences also operates under the Creative Commons License CC-BY-NC.
