In the fast-evolving world of ICT, knowledge moves quickly—and innovation depends on global exchange. Where and how research is published can be just as important as the findings themselves. Researchers today face more choices than ever, and the right publishing path can dramatically affect the reach, relevance, and real-world impact of their work.
The Advantages of Open Access Publishing in ICT Research
Unlike subscription-based models, open access ensures research is freely available to everyone, without paywalls. For researchers, this means increased visibility, higher citation potential, and broader influence across academia, industry, and policy.
This accessibility is crucial in fast-moving fields like ICT, where research and real-world application evolve in tandem. Open access helps accelerate innovation by making research more immediately applicable and widely shared.

Furthermore, it promotes equity by providing researchers in underserved regions equal access to vital knowledge, leveling the playing field across global research communities.
The Impact of Non-Profit Publishers on Academic Research
Journals owned and published by non-profit societies often reinvest in the research community—through conferences, collaborative networks, and initiatives that strengthen emerging fields.
Contributing to these journals helps sustain a more inclusive and community-focused research ecosystem, benefiting not just individual careers but the field as a whole. This approach fosters a collaborative environment that empowers researchers worldwide.

With thousands of peer-reviewed articles across EAI journals, book and proceeding series, the European Union Digital Library (EUDL) is one of the most active hubs for open access ICT research.
Open access journals, especially those from non-profit publishers, also support transparency and practices like open data and reproducibility, which enhance the credibility and long-term impact of ICT research.
EAI: Advancing ICT Research Through Open Access and Community Engagement
This is where the European Alliance for Innovation (EAI) stands out. EAI journals are open access, peer-reviewed, and operated by a non-profit foundation focused on inclusive, global research engagement.
“Publishing should amplify the work of researchers, not limit its reach. Open access allows both early-career and established scholars to share their findings widely and engage with the global research community. At EAI, our mission is to advance open, inclusive research that fosters collaboration and drives meaningful progress.”
