Open Access journals are relatively new mediums of scholarly publication that are highly advantageous over the previously followed methods of subscription based publication. The open access journals provide unrestricted and permanent access to scientific publications. In addition to free access to research articles, Open Access publications also facilitates the confluence of scientific disciplines, which was previously impossible due to the restricted access of publications. Furthermore, the subscription based journals were separated by discrete classifications of topic, field or discipline, which further hindered their application in distantly related scientific disciplines.In an Open Access world, all the disciplines come together and share their findings, thereby aiding the scientists to learn from the research of other disciplines. Thus, Open Access journals promote growth and understanding of the underlying concepts of multifarious scientific disciplines.
