OPEN ACCESS
Open Access
Sharing research results is an essential component of the scientific research process, as scientific progress cannot occur without sharing results, and the value of investment in research can only be realized through widespread sharing of research. Articles published under the Open Access model are free to all interested readers, with no financial barriers or copyright restrictions imposed by publishers between readers and articles.
Accordingly, the International Journal of Law provides Open Access, meaning that all its content is freely available to users, including institutions. Users are allowed to read the full texts of articles, download, copy, distribute, print, search, link to, or use them for any lawful purpose without prior permission from the publisher or author, provided proper citation is given.
The advantages of Open Access for authors include:
-
Free access for all users worldwide
-
Authors retain copyright of their work
-
Increased accessibility and readership
-
Speed of publication
-
No geographical restrictions on publishing
The journal charges a symbolic publication fee to cover only maintenance and printing costs, emphasizing that these fees do not affect the freedom of publishing or readers’ access to the content.
