This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of open access publishing. The key advantages are increased visibility and readership, greater opportunity for research ideas to be built upon, improved education through access to open education resources, and access for researchers in developing countries who otherwise could not afford subscription fees. The disadvantages include publication fees that may discourage research, potential lack of quality control if publishers feel pressure to publish more articles to cover costs, and questions around the long-term sustainability of funding models without traditional subscription fees.

Journal-level metrics
Metrics have become a fact of life in many - if not all - fields of research and scholarship. In an age of information abundance (often termed ‘information overload’), having a shorthand for the signals for where in the ocean of published literature to focus our limited attention has become increasingly important.
Research metrics are sometimes controversial, especially when in popular usage they become proxies for multidimensional concepts such as research quality or impact. Each metric may offer a different emphasis based on its underlying data source, method of calculation, or context of use. For this reason, Elsevier promotes the responsible use of research metrics encapsulated in two “golden rules”. Those are: always use both qualitative and quantitative input for decisions (i.e. expert opinion alongside metrics), and always use more than one research metric as the quantitative input. This second rule acknowledges that performance cannot be expressed by any single metric, as well as the fact that all metrics have specific strengths and weaknesses. Therefore, using multiple complementary metrics can help to provide a more complete picture and reflect different aspects of research productivity and impact in the final assessment. ( Elsevier)

Redundant, Duplicate and Repetitive publications are the most important concerns in the scientific research/literature writing. The occurrence of redundancy affects the concepts of science/literature and carries with it sanctions of consequences. To define this issue is much challenging because of the many varieties in which one can slice, reformat, or reproduce material from an already published study. This issue also goes beyond the duplication of a single study because it might possible that the same or similar data can be published in the early, middle, and later stages of an on-going study. This may have a damaging impact on the scientific study/literature base. Similar to slicing a cake, there are so many ways of representing a study or a set of data/information. We can slice a cake into different shapes like squares, triangles, rounds, or layers. Which of these might be the best way to slice a cake? Unfortunately, this may be the wrong question. The point is that the cake that is being referred to, the data/ information set or the study/findings, should not be sliced at all. Instead, the study should be presented as a whole to the readership to ensure the integrity of science/technology because of the impact that may have on patients who will be affected by the information contained in the literature/findings. Redundant, duplicate, or repetitive publications occur when there is representation of two or more studies, data sets, or publications in either electronic or print media. The publications can overlap partially or completely, such that a similar portion, major component(s), or complete representation of a previously/simultaneous ly or future published study is duplicated.
SALAMI SLICING: The slicing of research publication that would form one meaningful paper into several different papers is known as salami publication or salami slicing. Unlike duplicate publication, which involves reporting the exact same data in two or more publications, salami slicing involves breaking up or segmenting a large study into two or more publications. These segments are called slices of a study. As a general rule, as long as the slices of a broken-up study share the same hypotheses, population, and methods, this is not acceptable in general practice. The same slice should never be published more than once at all. According to the United States Office of Research Integrity (USORI), salami slicing can result in a distortion of the literature/findings by leading unsuspecting readers to believe that data presented in each salami slice (journal article) is derived from a different subject sample/source. Somehow this practice not only skews the scientific database but it creates repetition to waste reader's time as well as the time of editors and peer reviewers, who must also handle each paper separately.

Open Access
Researchers argue that open access has significantly become beneficial in the current world of research. Beall, (2010) say that open access is an extensive international academic movement that enhances open and free online access to a variety of educational information. Some of this information includes data and various publications. Hence, open access allows individuals to download, read, print, search or use the information for education purpose. Contrary once should adhere to legal agreements related to open access materials.
However, open access has played a vital role, especially in academic institutions, where students can access a variety of academic resources free of charge. The research found that students and scholars spend much of their time on the Internet looking for academic resources, which are crucial in their course work. Thus, open access is essential across all academic fields. This paper aims at examining the pros and cons of open access.
Advantages of open access
Open access allows free access to learning materials. According to studies, the primary aim of having open access to facilitate access to a variety of academic articles and other critical academic materials (Heron, Hanson & Ricketts, 2013). Interestingly, those people are unable to join university can learn on their own online through open access to scholarly materials. Research shows that there has been an emergence of a variety of open access online course. Hence individuals can enroll in such courses, which allows them to advance their knowledge and skills. Moreover, individuals incur no or less cost while learning through open online courses.
It allows extensive access to academic materials and learning. Open access allows an individual to access educational materials in any region across the world. Hence the individual only needs a computer and a stable Internet connection to browse numerous academic articles throughout the web. Moreover, students and scholars situated in countries with low income where education is extensive can access materials to enhance their learning. Also, various researchers can connect with the international research community through open access. Hence, researchers and scholars can improve their knowledge and skills through open access materials. Additionally, broad access to academic materials allows the researcher to obtain better results in their research projects.
Open access enhances scalability at a low cost. Scholars argue that open access work is very efficient in terms of distribution. Researchers found that open access can be distributed more extensively while incurring li ...

Wireless communication involves the transmission of information over a distance without the help of wires, cables or any other forms of electrical conductors.
Wireless communication is a broad term that incorporates all procedures and forms of connecting and communicating between two or more devices using a wireless signal through wireless communication technologies and devices.
Features of Wireless Communication
The evolution of wireless technology has brought many advancements with its effective features.
The transmitted distance can be anywhere between a few meters (for example, a television's remote control) and thousands of kilometers (for example, radio communication).
Wireless communication can be used for cellular telephony, wireless access to the internet, wireless home networking, and so on.

6. 3. Improved Education
Advantages
• OER
exist
for
all
levels
of
education,
from
kindergarten
through
college;
[1]
thus,
it
allows
educational
institutions
to
improve
the

of
learning
materials,
which
enhance
students’
learning.
• Additionally,
with
free
access
to
many
educational
resources,
it
lessens
the
school’s
overall
expenditure,
which
brings
down
the
cost
of

journals
8. 1.Publication Fees
Disadvantages
1.
The
author
has
the
responsibility
to
pay
for
the
costs
of
publication,
and
in
times
of
austerity
and
funding
cuts,
this
can
discourage
researches
from

9. 2.Lack of Quality Control
Disadvantages
Regarding
less
reputable
publishers,
open
access
models
may
incentivise
journals
to
publish
more
articles.
Thus,
this
drives
publishers
to
publish
more
articles
to
cover
their
cost,
hence
reducing
overall
quality.
10. 3. Sustainability
Disadvantages
• Some
argue
that
traditional
paid
access
models
ensure
publishers
are
adequately
compensated
for
substantial
