Access and reuse policy
The Journal of Advances in Education, Sciences and Humanities adheres to open-access principles, providing free and immediate access to all its content to support the global exchange of scientific knowledge in areas related to educational sciences, pure and applied sciences, and humanities.
- Open access
All content published in the Journal of Advances in Education, Sciences and Humanities is freely available under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial-ShareAlike (CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) license, which aligns with the BOAI definition of open access. This permits users to read, download, distribute, print, copy, link to, and cite articles in any medium or format for non-commercial purposes, provided appropriate credit is given to the authors without requiring prior permission from the publisher or authors.
The Gold Open Access model is a publishing system in which articles are freely and immediately available to readers online without needing subscriptions or payments. In this model, authors or their institutions cover the publication costs by paying the publisher a fee, including the peer review process, typesetting, and hosting the article on the publisher’s platform. This fee is known as the Article Processing Charge (APC).
Gold Open Access journals are generally more accessible and visible than traditional subscription-based journals. Anyone with internet access can read them, and they are often indexed in prominent academic databases. Furthermore, this model promotes greater transparency and facilitates the rapid dissemination of research, which can increase the visibility and impact of the authors.

- Copyright and self-archiving
Authors retain the copyright to their work and can self-archive the final published version in non-commercial personal or institutional repositories. When doing so, they must cite the source and provide a link to the journal. However, self-archiving in commercial repositories is not permitted.
- Article processing charges (APC)
The Journal of Advances in Education, Sciences and Humanities applies an article processing charge (APC) to articles accepted after peer review to ensure open access and cover editorial costs. The authors or their institutions are responsible for this charge.
- Reuse of data and materials
Data and materials must be reused under the CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 license, which ensures free access for academic purposes while respecting copyright and commercial restrictions.
In addition, the journal is seeking inclusion in Sherpa/Romeo, an online tool that collects and analyses academic publishers' open-access policies. Sherpa/Romeo provides key information on the copyright, licenses, and self-archiving conditions authors must comply with to publish in scholarly journals. This makes it easier for researchers to understand the publication policies and feasibility of self-archiving their articles in open repositories.
