Open Access Policy
Open access peer review refers to the peer review process used by journals that publish open access articles. In open access peer review, the identities of the authors, reviewers, and often the editor handling the manuscript may be disclosed to one another. This transparency aims to enhance accountability, promote constructive feedback, and foster trust in the peer review process. By making the peer review process more open, it can contribute to the quality and reliability of published research while promoting greater engagement and dialogue within the scientific community.
Open access promotes the exchange of research articles across all disciplines, facilitates interdisciplinary research, and ensures global accessibility, including for researchers in all countries and the general public. While embracing the open access model, our Journal acknowledges the value of diverse forms of scholarly communication.
