Open Acces Policy

The International Journal of Social and Politics (IJSP) is committed to promoting the global dissemination of knowledge through an open access publishing model. Our open access policy ensures that all published articles are freely available to researchers, practitioners, and the public, without subscription or payment barriers. This approach supports the journal’s mission to advance scholarly communication and maximize the impact of research in the fields of social and political studies.

Key Aspects of Our Open Access Policy:

  1. Free Accessibility: All articles published in IJSP are freely accessible to everyone upon publication. We believe that unrestricted access to scholarly research fosters greater engagement, visibility, and impact of the work.

  2. Licensing: Articles are published under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license, allowing for unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction of the content, provided appropriate credit is given to the original authors. This license facilitates the sharing and adaptation of research while ensuring authors retain their intellectual property rights.

  3. Article Processing Charges (APCs): IJSP may levy an article processing charge (APC) to cover the costs of publication. The APC supports the journal’s open access model and ensures the sustainability of the publication process. Fee waivers or reductions are available for authors from low-income countries or for those with financial constraints.

  4. Copyright: Upon acceptance of an article, authors transfer copyright to IJSP. This transfer ensures that the journal maintains the rights to publish and disseminate the article openly.

  5. Ethical and Quality Standards: IJSP adheres to high ethical and quality standards in its publication practices. We ensure that all articles are subject to a rigorous peer-review process to maintain scholarly integrity and quality.

  6. Supporting Global Access: By adopting an open access model, IJSP aims to support global access to research findings, promote academic collaboration, and enhance the impact of research across diverse audiences.

We invite researchers and authors to contribute to the International Journal of Social and Politics and benefit from our commitment to open access, ensuring that their work reaches the widest possible audience.
