Open Access Articles On Quality Of Life In HIV Patients

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)/acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS) epidemic is now a global crises, constituents one of the most formidable challenges to development and social progress. With the development and start of national programme for providing care and free highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) to people living with HIV/AIDS, there has been a significant reduction in morbidity and mortality and more of them are surviving with improved quality of life. Open access to the scientific literature means the removal of barriers (including price barriers) from accessing scholarly work. There are two parallel “roads” towards open access: Open Access articles and self-archiving. Open Access articles are immediately, freely available on their Web site, a model mostly funded by charges paid by the author (usually through a research grant). The alternative for a researcher is “self-archiving” (i.e., to publish in a traditional journal, where only subscribers have immediate access, but to make the article available on their personal and/or institutional Web sites (including so-called repositories or archives)), which is a practice allowed by many scholarly journals.
