In accordance with the major definitions of open access in scientific literature, IJMERR adopts and implements a full open access policy based on the following principles:
All peer-reviewed articles are made freely available to readers, without any subscription or price barriers.
Articles are released immediately in open access format upon publication, and the published material may be reused without prior permission.
Global Accessibility
Every article published by IJMERR is made immediately available worldwide under an open access license. This ensures that:
Everyone has free and unlimited access to the full text of all articles published in IJMERR.
Readers pay nothing – access is completely free of charge. A comparatively low Article Processing Charge (APC) is paid by the authors, their funding bodies, or their institutions to cover publication costs.
Licensing and Copyright
Authors retain copyright in their work.
All articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0) . This permits any user to download, share, distribute, copy, adapt, and even commercially reuse the material, provided that proper attribution is given to the original authors.
Benefits of Open Access for Authors
High‑quality, rigorous peer review – Open access articles undergo the same thorough peer‑review, production, and publishing processes as those in traditional subscription‑based journals.
Rapid publication – A streamlined and user‑friendly online submission and production system enables swift review, acceptance, and dissemination.
No space constraints – Online publication provides unlimited space for supplementary materials, including figures, extensive datasets, and other supporting information.
Compliance with open access mandates – Open access publication readily fulfills the OA requirements of research funders and academic institutions. Final articles can be deposited into bibliographic databases and institutional repositories without any embargo period.
Commitment to Open Science
IJMERR is dedicated to advancing the global exchange of scientific knowledge. By removing financial and legal barriers, we ensure that research outputs are accessible to the widest possible audience, fostering innovation, collaboration, and societal impact.
