Open access (OA) journals are scholarly journals that are available online "without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.” Open Access (OA) provides unlimited access and reuseability of research publications online for free. Therefore, the open access therefore creates the network for reaching the widest possible audience, sharing the entire papers and building upon them.

The Turkish Journal of LIDAR (TUJOL) has signed the Budapest Open Access Initiative and shows its “openness” clearly in a standardized form.

TUJOL also supports the Budapest Open Access Initiative definition of ''Open Access,'' which is defined as:

“Its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.”
