The reasons for the strengthening of Open-Access policies are manifold and range from economic reasons in the face
of exploding prices in the area of print publications, to legal grounds and further to a not necessarily converted, but however intensified self-conception of researcher in self-management, for whom there is a vital need for quantitative, qualitative and, above all, swiftly absorbable publications that can be placed according to internal
requirements. Download figures and citation indices constitute professional capital for researchers. Open-Access publications in online journals are supposed to promote
the core of scientific work and to guarantee exactly this capital for their operators: fast, free of charge and at all
times available access to information; visibility and increased self-representation in a worldwide network; unproblematic traceability, cost efficiency and promptness
of the publication; advancement of interdisciplinarity,
discursiveness and discussion of research; longevity of filing; self administration of rights. All this, in theory,
leads to a manifold scientific emergence, as the freely available and easily traceable information would bring together researchers,who are a long way from each other
geographically and disciplinarily.
