Abstract

Scientific publishing is the scientific and important way, but it is one of the
most important criteria used to estimate the level of scientific production
It has also become one of the most important international standards for
the classification of universities, Therefore, universities and research centers are
interested in publishing the results of their scientific research in the published
publishing vessels, which adopt the strict scientific standards
Such as specialized scientific journals or conference books, in order to
share knowledge and results so that research can continue and its results and
objectives will be integrated.
The Free Access and Free publishing movement has emerged in the past
two decades as a result of its benefits in improving the flow of information. Many
societies and institutions have embraced this movement and invested its various
components in order to facilitate the flow of information not only in these
communities but throughout the world , This movement originated primarily as a
solution to the problem of scientific communication, access to scientific research
at the time of publication or after a short period of time, and overcome the
problem of rising costs of participation in the traditional periodicals and the
inability of libraries and individuals to bear the steady increase in this Field.
We believe that although we believe that the scientific publishing in the
sources of free access is the natural development of scientific publishing in the
digital age, we see at the same time the need to establish controls and conditions
and even standards to ensure its quality, and provide credibility to the clients and
it is still not But with the revolution of electronic information and the ease of what
is described as the globalization of knowledge on the one hand, and the high
costs of subscription imposed by the traditional publishing houses on the other
hand, it does not seem realistic to maintain the traditional form of publishing the
existence of the usual form, Of periodicals issued p A long-standing publishing
role for a mixed model combines the traditional model with this model
Hence, openness should be open to the issue of publishing in the sources
of free access, in addition to caution against falling into the trap of anonymous
publishers whose goal is to profit at the expense of the quality of what they
publish. This poses a challenge, as long as it exists, to find the appropriate
scientific tools to disseminate scientific and research production, regardless of
the publication model it adopts. With databases that classify reliable instruments
and measure their performance levels based on clear criteria such as editorial
level, peer arbitration, and the number of readings and citations obtained by
periodicals and books, the potential authors may use these tools and others to
select appropriate receptors to published their scientific output.
