Philosophical studies in librarianship have always been impressed by the different philosophical procedures. The formation of philosophical foundations in librarianship along with its essence and multi-dimensional aspects has resulted in some ambiguity and complexity in the exact definition of librarianship philosophy. The necessity of developing the basis of philosophy in librarianship needs to be affirmed by explaining its identity and formulating its goals. Accordingly, some different philosophical approaches have been represented in librarianship, among which two cognitive and metaphysical methods, due to their meta-theoretical nature, are recognized as the most important philosophical approaches wherein librarianship has been established as a "meta-science". In this way through blending various aspects of natural, social and abstract sciences, librarianship can be defined according to its effects and proper place in human knowledge. Therefore, to prepare the means for different types of research, a relative and basic theoretical structure will be provided for librarianship.

The present work introduces a statistical evaluation method to prove the hypothesis being formulated in this paper. Although the previous work of ours has discussed and proved that open access journals are highly beneficial for academician as well as researcher in multiple purposes. However, there are various facts which can surface and not addressed in our previous work. Some facts like i) fear of loss of revenue when the manuscript are publically accessed, ii) does open access document usage gives an alternative solution for IT infrastructure which is highly expensive in nature, and ii) does usage of open access journals mitigates the clerical issues. Hence, in the current paper, we choose to consider the same population and universe that has been a part of our prior study and we choose to perform some of the statistical analysis to check how far the hypothesis are proven correct or wrong.
