Jurnal Ilmiah Online Gratis: Alternatif terhadap Kelangkaan Jurnal Ilmiah di Perpustakaan

Jurnal ilmiah internasional masa kini semuanya ditayangkan melalui Internet sehingga dapat diakses secara online. Namun sayangnya, yang ditayangkan hanya abstrak, sedangkan untuk mengakses artikel secara lengkap diharuskan membayar. Akibatnya tentu mudah dipahami, mengapa dosen yang gaji bulanannya hanya cukup untuk membiayai keluarga selama 2 minggu, tidak mungkin dapat mengkases jurnal ilmiah semacam itu (meskipun belum meminta gaji dinaikkan, karena percuma saja meminta kalau pemerintah lebih memprioritaskan menaikkan gaji presiden dan pejabat tinggi). Apalagi mahasiswa banyak universitas di daerah, yang lebih banyak menggunakan uang kiriman orang tua untuk membeli pulsa telepon sesluler daripada untuk membiayai kepentingan kuliah, mana mungkin dapat diharapkan mau mengakses artikel jurnal dengan membayar seperti itu.


Untungnya, selain jurnal ilmiah internasional konvensional yang hanya memberikan akses artikel lengkap dengan membayar, kini terdapat banyak jurnal ilmiah yang memberikan artikelnya untuk diakses secara gratis oleh siapa saja. Jurnal ilmiah seperti ini dikenal dengan jurnal akses terbuka (open access journal). Kini, semakin banyak jurnal ilmiah menjadi jurnal akses terbuka sehingga membantu dosen yang gajinya pas-pasan (kecuali dosen yang mengemban tugas tambahan sebagai pejabat) dan mahasiswa yang lebih mementingkan membeli pulsa untuk dapat menikmati membaca artikel jurnal terkini. Jurnal ilmiah akses bebas dalam bidang perlindungan tanaman memang masih terbatas, tetapi artikel mengenai perlindungan tanaman sering dapat diperoleh juga dari jurnal ilmiah bidang yang lebih umum.

DOAJ=Directory of Open Access Journals, daftar jurnal ilmiah yang dapat diakses secara terbuka (silahkan klik).

Sementara gaji dosen masih belum memungkinkan dosen untuk berlangganan jurnal secara pribadi dan perpustakaan universitas belum direncanakan untuk berlangganan database jurnal semacam ScienceDirect atau Agricola, cukuplah dosen dan mahasiswa mengakses jurnal ilmiah akses bebas (meskipun anggaran pendidikan katanya sudah menjadi 20% APBN).
