Open access publishing has significant implications on scientific knowledge dissemination by allowing research findings to be freely accessed by anyone with an internet connection. This increases the visibility and impact of research, leading to more citations and collaborations among researchers. It also promotes faster dissemination of knowledge, accelerates the pace of scientific discovery, and enhances public engagement with research findings. Additionally, open access publishing can help address inequalities in access to information and foster innovation by facilitating the sharing of ideas and data.
