Open Access Policy

Embracing Accessibility in Scholarly Publishing

All articles in the journals are published under a Creative Commons (CC) license.

The principle that timely and broad access to scientific research is fundamental to sound science is widely acknowledged. Such access allows scientists to refine their hypotheses and explore new research avenues, thus speeding up further discoveries and innovations.

Rapid and fair access to new research is also crucial for those who depend on this information to craft policies and establish practices that enhance medicine and public health. This commitment to widespread access not only supports transparency but also strengthens the rigor and reproducibility of scientific work, enhancing the trust all stakeholders place in science.

The journal supports these principles through publishing policies that are both equitable and accessible, enabling authors to choose the most appropriate publishing pathway for their work and ensuring that scientific results are immediately available to readers.

We offer authors of research articles the option to publish the article open access. Original Investigations, Research Letters, and Brief Reports are eligible for open access. Non - research articles are not eligible for open access.
