Open Access Policy
The Emerging Innovations Society: Science, Technology, and Social Studies is committed to the open dissemination of knowledge and the global accessibility of high-quality research. All journals under the society operate under a fully open access model, ensuring that published content is freely available to all readers worldwide without any subscription or paywall barriers.
Key Principles of Our Open Access Policy
1. Free and Immediate Access
All articles published in our journals are freely and permanently accessible online immediately upon publication. There is no embargo period or access restriction for any reader, researcher, institution, or library.
2. Author Copyright and Licensing
Authors retain full copyright of their work. All articles are published under the terms of the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0). This license allows:
-
Unrestricted use, distribution, reproduction, and adaptation in any medium
-
Proper attribution to the original author(s) and source
3. No Reader Fees
We do not charge any fee for downloading, reading, or sharing published articles. Our goal is to promote knowledge equity and encourage research accessibility across geographical and institutional boundaries.
4. Archiving and Indexing
All published articles are permanently archived and indexed in reputable databases to ensure long-term preservation and visibility. The society uses DOI (Digital Object Identifier) for each article to maintain citation integrity and digital permanence.
5. Support for Global Knowledge Sharing
By removing access barriers, our open access policy supports scholars, practitioners, educators, and policymakers across the globe—especially in regions with limited academic resources. We believe that knowledge should be a public good and openly available to advance innovation and solve global challenges.
