Understanding Open Access Policy

Current World Environment is committed to open-access publishing, ensuring that all content is freely accessible to users without charge. Open access allows anyone to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to full texts of articles without needing prior permission from the publisher or author. This approach aligns with the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) definition, promoting the unrestricted availability of peer-reviewed literature.

Our journal supports the open exchange of knowledge while adhering to ethical publishing standards set by organizations like the DOAJ, OASPA, WAME, and ICMJE. By adopting open access, we enhance the visibility, accessibility, and impact of research globally.

Why Open Access?

Publishing in an open-access journal offers several key advantages:

  • Free Accessibility: Your research is available to everyone, eliminating subscription or price barriers.

  • Immediate Availability: Articles are made accessible online as soon as they are published, with no embargo period.

  • Reuse Rights: Published materials can be reused freely, provided that proper citation is given to the original source.

  • Creative Commons License: All articles are published under a Creative Commons (CC BY) license, enabling broad distribution and reuse.

By choosing open access, you contribute to the global exchange of knowledge, facilitating interdisciplinary research and providing access to research findings for scientists, researchers in developing countries, and the public. Open-access publishing ensures that your work reaches a broader audience, increasing its visibility and impact.

Benefits for Authors to Publish in Open Access

  • High Availability and Visibility: Your work is accessible to a global audience, enhancing its reach.

  • Higher Citation Impact: Open-access articles typically receive more citations due to their wide availability.

  • Lower Publishing Costs: The article processing charge (APC) is often covered by institutions or funding bodies, reducing the financial burden on authors.

Publishing your research open access ensures that it is freely available to the global scientific community, driving innovation and collaboration across disciplines.
