Open Access Statement

Unrestricted Access to Scholarly Research

The Journal operates under a full Open Access publishing model, ensuring that all published articles are made immediately and permanently accessible online upon publication. This approach reflects our commitment to the global dissemination of scholarly knowledge without financial, legal, or technical barriers. Readers, researchers, practitioners, and institutions worldwide may freely access, read, and engage with the journal’s content without subscription fees, registration requirements, or paywalls.

This model supports the equitable exchange of knowledge and accelerates academic progress by enhancing the visibility and accessibility of research outputs.
