While different regulations have been put in place by the EU to ensure the functioning of the internal market, they could not solve the non-barriers to trade; mutual recognition provides an innovative way to ensuring these freedoms without the need to centralize regulations at the EU level. This paper has been able to provide some insight into the discussion of mutual recognition, its importance so far in making the internal market work, and some possible difficulties it faces in terms of information, compliance and monitoring cost in the goods market.

This has led to the discussion of open access that ensures the distribution and use of academic articles for free over the internet. This study seeks to examine the impact of open access on research impact, quality and the attitude of researchers towards this alternative model of academic publishing. We found that the attitude towards open access varies across disciplines and the reward system in terms of promotions, job prospects are big determining factors that an author will publish in an open access journal.

Without prejudice to the objective of price stability, the ECB shall support the general economic policies in the Community with a view to contributing to the achievement of the objectives of the Community as laid down in Article 2."
