Open Access Policy

Open Access (OA) is the practice of providing unrestricted Internet access to scholarly journal articles that have been peer-reviewed. The articles are freely accessible on the public internet, allowing users to perform various actions such as reading, downloading, copying, distributing, printing, searching, linking, or crawling them in preparation for indexing. Nevertheless, there are expenses associated with publication that must be borne, including but not limited to proofreading, copy editing, XML conversion, , digital presentation, preservation, promotion, and dissemination of the work.
