Benefits of Open Access

Open access articles are freely available via the internet and are therefore more widely visible than articles published behind subscription barriers, with some studies suggesting that on average open access articles are twice as likely to be cited.

Retaining copyright means that authors can reproduce and distribute their work as they choose, for example on their institution's website.

Open access publication benefits the scientific community by making the results of research immediately and freely available to all.

We define plagiarism as a case in which a paper reproduces another work with similarity and without citation.

If evidence of plagiarism is found before/after acceptance or after publication of the paper, the author will be offered a chance for rebuttal. If the arguments are not found to be satisfactory, the manuscript will be retracted.

All the articles will be checked through Turnitin Software before the publication of the journal.
