OpenAccessLinks

OpenAccessLinks is an online platform dedicated to providing free and immediate access to scholarly research articles and academic publications. Its primary goal is to promote open access to scientific knowledge by connecting users with freely available research materials across various disciplines.

Founded in 2015, OpenAccessLinks aggregates links to open access resources from multiple repositories, journal sites, and institutional archives. It serves as a centralized directory, enabling researchers, students, and the general public to locate and access academic content without subscription barriers. The platform emphasizes transparency, user privacy, and adherence to copyright laws, ensuring that all shared links lead to legally accessible materials.

OpenAccessLinks features a user-friendly interface that allows search by keywords, author names, publication titles, or digital object identifiers (DOIs). It also provides filters to refine search results based on publication date, discipline, or access type. The platform collaborates with various open access initiatives, such as PubMed Central, arXiv, and institutional repositories, to expand its database.

While not hosting content directly, OpenAccessLinks acts as a facilitator, improving the discoverability of open access research. It is widely used by academics, librarians, and research institutions aiming to support open science and eliminate paywall restrictions in scholarly communication. The platform remains committed to fostering equitable access to knowledge and encouraging the dissemination of scientific findings to a broader audience.
