Open Acces Statement
This journal provides immediate open access to all published articles, allowing the public to freely access academic research. This open access model aligns with ideals of making information freely available to maximize knowledge sharing and visibility of cutting-edge research around the world.
Specifically, open access means all articles are completely free to access and read in their entirety for anyone. Additionally, others have the freedom to reuse published material, granted they properly credit the original source. Providing research openly can bring benefits for both scholars and society through increasing the reach and potential impact.
The journal's open access publication is financially supported through Article Processing Charges paid for by the researchers' academic institutions or funding agencies after articles are peer reviewed and accepted. This allows the journal to cover operational costs without limiting access through paywalls and subscriptions.
It should be noted published articles may contain excerpted material from copyrighted sources. The journal may not hold rights to relicense this material, so authors should ensure they have retained permissions when reproducing figures, tables or lengthy quotes taken from external publications. Overall, this journal's open access policies aim to responsibly allow maximum accessibility and reuse of articles to progress scientific knowledge.
