Moroccan university researcher and open access to scientific and technical information

Moroccan university researcher and open access to scientific and technical information. In this era based on information we live in, the free flow of information and knowledge is a fundamental principle for the reduction of the scientific gap. Social inclusion and economic empowerment are achieved in a society where citizens have universal access to information, whether general or specialized. Thus, over 10 years after the Declaration of the open access movement, clearly it has gained much ground in developed countries with substantial infrastructure, including through the active involvement of their universities and authorities in scientific research. However, the world of research in developing countries, in particular Morocco, lagging far behind in the practice of open access and does not take enough advantage of the opportunities of the free flow of information and knowledge. It is in this context that we have tried to amass an inventory in this area showing that the academic world is not yet part of the movement even though many conditions are already in place to benefit from open access.
