Open Access

PADiR Journal publishes its articles under a Creative Commons license. We recognize that the article is the intellectual product of the author; however, upon publication, certain rights are also shared with the publisher. Therefore, we obtain specific publication rights from the author through an agreement form at the time of submission.

This agreement enables us to distribute, publish, and index articles widely. Nevertheless, we never violate the author’s rights in the content, as it remains the author’s intellectual property. Any violation of such rights would be contrary to the principles of open access.

A printed copy is always retained by the journal’s publisher as a secure archival backup. This allows us to release electronic content even if access through other means becomes unavailable.

We also index our content in various file-sharing, abstracting, and indexing services, making it available online for free download.

Why Open Access?

Accessibility

  1. Articles can be easily found through search engines because the full text is freely available online.
  2. Readers may use the text without restrictions.
  3. Readers are allowed to develop their own ideas based on published articles, which may broaden discussion and commentary on the subject.
  4. Compared with traditional print journals, electronic availability has made access easier for a wider audience.

No Fees

  1. Open access does not require readers to pay any fees to read or comment on journal content.
  2. This meets the needs of researchers who do not have substantial financial resources.
  3. This approach is an appropriate way to enrich global knowledge without imposing fees, as fees restrict readers according to their economic circumstances.

Content Sharing

  1. We freely share content through all possible means under the framework of open access.
  2. Open access helps reduce research duplication and prevents wasting time on topics that have already been addressed.
  3. Due to broad indexing opportunities, the concept of open access has gained greater recognition in disseminating globally needed content.
