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.
International Journal of Disabilities Sports and Health Sciences (IJDSHS) has signed the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI)and shows its “openness” clearly in a standardized form.
IJDSHS provides open access to its content, based on the principle that offering the public free access to research studies helps towards a better global exchange of knowledge.
