Open Access Journals
Open-access (OA) literature is digital, online, free of charge, and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions. The two main ways for delivering OA research, are OA journals and OA repositories. There are a vast number of open access journals available through popular OA platforms like BiomedCentral, DOAJ (Directory of Open access journals) and Arxiv.
Durban University of Technology has its own Institutional Repository (IR) consisting of theses, dissertations and research publications. In terms of the DUT IR policy, it is mandatory for all theses, dissertations and research publications to be added to the IR.
