Open access periodicals refer to periodicals published on the Internet and available to all for free. This kind of periodical does not publish in print, and the author must pay the page fee to publish the paper.

The advantage of open access journals is that they are open to all, and the author's papers may be seen and quoted by more people.

At present, open access periodicals are mushrooming, so the author should pay attention to whether there are predatory publishers' doubts when deciding to contribute OA periodicals. Another thing to consider is whether the economic ability can afford it. After all, the page fee of OA journals is relatively high.
