English abstract

The open science program aims to improve the quality and significance of research while increasing public access to science and this movement advocates for free and open science using various means. Open access to research through scholarly journals is a subset of open science. This paper is an attempt to analyze journals listed on the Directory of Open Access (DOAJ) repository. The study observed that there is growth in open access journals globally. However, most of the journals are from the developed countries. This is because high-income nations with superior facilities and infrastructure benefited from a variety of incentives to publish in open access journals or various modes of open access. So, it can be argued that open science is a developed countries’ phenomenon.
