Usually, scholarly journals with open access publishing model and policies ensure high visibility and maximum exposure for your work, because anyone with online access can read and further cite and promote your academic article. For a published article to be successful, online academic journals have to offer accessibility and visibility. This high level of visibility occurs with indexing, abstracting, and listing in major academic databases.
