Abstract :
The present work introduces a statistical evaluation method to prove the hypothesis being formulated in this paper. Although the previous work of ours has discussed and proved that open access journals are highly beneficial for academician as well as researcher in multiple purposes. However, there are various facts which can surface and not addressed in our previous work. Some facts like i) fear of loss of revenue when the manuscript are publically accessed, ii) does open access document usage gives an alternative solution for IT infrastructure which is highly expensive in nature, and ii) does usage of open access journals mitigates the clerical issues. Hence, in the current paper, we choose to consider the same population and universe that has been a part of our prior study and we choose to perform some of the statistical analysis to check how far the hypothesis are proven correct or wrong.
