Open Source or Free Journals

Friends we all are aware that information is changing its form, from a very controlled print media, today we are into more dynamic online world.

Online media is helping all to get to information that they are seeking for, it can be subscribed or free but the users are getting closer to requirement.

The open sources and repositories have been a great source of information however they may or may not be peer reviewed, thus as a scientific community we offer lower rating to these material however Gold OA and Green OA have been proving very useful. Scientist who want their research to have higher impact prefer this model.

But I am very happy to see the increasing hits to these articles, some where somebody is using your information, scientific community had been honest in offering citation and I believe same will continue.

As a researcher you may find it difficult to decide which title should you really look forward to thus to make it simple I am compiling the list and shall put it on the blog soon.....

Just to bring few details how repositories are growing globally:
