Open Access Policy

 

Our Open Access Policy ensures that all published articles are freely accessible to readers worldwide, without subscription barriers or paywalls. This aligns with our mission to advance global agricultural research and its applications through unrestricted dissemination of knowledge.

What is Open Access?

Open Access means that all articles published in our journal are made available online, free of charge, immediately upon publication. This allows researchers, practitioners, policymakers, and the general public to access, read, and build upon the knowledge shared in our journal without any financial or legal constraints.

Key Principles of Our Open Access Policy

  • Free Accessibility: All content published in Advances in Agriculture and Agricultural Sciences is accessible to anyone, anywhere in the world, at no cost.
  • Creative Commons Licensing: We publish under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY). This allows users to share, distribute, and adapt the published work, provided proper credit is given to the authors and the original source.
  • No Embargo Period: Articles are available immediately upon publication. We do not impose any embargo periods.
  • Author Retention of Rights: Authors retain the copyright to their work, ensuring they have full control over how their work is used, distributed, or adapted.

Benefits of Open Access

  • Increased Visibility: Open Access maximizes the reach and impact of your research by making it easily discoverable and accessible to a global audience.
  • Fostering Collaboration: Free access to research encourages collaboration across disciplines, industries, and borders.
  • Equity in Knowledge Sharing: Open Access breaks down financial and geographical barriers, ensuring that researchers and institutions with limited resources can benefit from the latest scientific advancements.

Article Processing Charges (APCs)

To support the costs associated with publication, such as peer review, editing, and hosting, Advances in Agriculture and Agricultural Sciences applies a modest Article Processing Charge (APC). This fee ensures the sustainability of our Open Access model. However, we are committed to inclusivity and may consider waivers or discounts for authors from low-income or underserved regions.

Compliance with Funding Requirements

Our Open Access Policy complies with the mandates of many global funding agencies that require publicly funded research to be published in Open Access journals. By publishing with us, your research will meet these requirements while contributing to the global body of knowledge in agriculture.
