(Extract)An Open Access (OA) journal can be defined as a journal that is digital, online and free of charges for every internet user, also it does not really require any copyrights or licensing restrictions. All over the world, scientists are looking for journals that maximize and emphasise the chances of their work being cited because of citations valorize their work and they somehow award the authors and give them an intellectual recognition.
