Information is crucial part of education, research, academics as well as every section of the society. Open Access is an ingenious method of scholarly communication in the digital era and aim to make information and knowledge accessible to everyone. The expansions of scholarly information in various resources, increase in cost at a rapid rate, made it arduous for libraries to access and continue it. The cost structures of the entire scholarly publishing enterprises can alleviate by Open Access. DOAJ and other Open Access publications, in short are described as digital information, provided free of charge and free of most copyright and licensing restrictions, easily available to common people and researchers, once it has been published. In contrast to conventional journals, DOAJ and Other Open Access journals do not charge subscription fees. The research sponsors, the authors, their institutions pay the fees to make it free to readers. Authors keep possession of the copyright for the article and most permission hurdles have been removed. Open access publishing uses different colour codes like Gold, Diamond, Green, Yellow, White, Black and Blue to assist the authors in choosing journals which have permissive self-archiving policies.
