The purpose of this study is to look at the barriers from various countries in implementing open access. This study uses a systematic review method with a qualitative approach. The data collection method is in the form of planning, implementation, and synthesis of search results. This study uses Google Scholar to capture all research on implementing scientific communication with open access in the global realm. The search results on Google Scholar using Boolean logic found 273 articles; after the elimination process, the basis of the research objective became 16 articles. This study shows that the biggest obstacle in implementing open access is perception (33.3%); researchers have the perception that the quality of open access journals is less guaranteed, many of which fall into the category of predatory journals. In addition, another obstacle identified was policy (25.6%). Therefore, the government or stakeholders must make policies that regulate the standards for the quality of open access journals, the editorial board, and the time interval for publishing journals. Other obstacles such as financial factors where many researchers have minimal research funds, open access publications require large funds (23.1%), followed by copyright (10.3%), and language (7.7%), not all researchers fluent in English. The results of this study can be used as a reference for further research in assessing the obstacles that have also been happened in Indonesia.
