How do these initiatives impact researchers?

These initiatives enhance visibility and citation rates for researchers, foster collaboration, and ensure that research findings are accessible to a broader audience, including policymakers and the public.

What challenges do these initiatives face?

Challenges include funding for open-access models, resistance from traditional publishers, and ensuring the quality and integrity of shared research.
