Open Access Policy

The International Conference on Science, Social, and Humanity (ICSSHU) adheres to the principles of open access, believing that free access to research fosters greater global exchange of knowledge. This policy ensures that all published works are immediately available to the public without charge.

Access Rights

All articles published in ICSSHU are accessible worldwide under an open access license. No subscription or purchase is necessary to view or download these articles.

Licensing

To support open access, all articles are provided under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). This license allows users to copy, distribute, display, and perform the work and derivative works based upon it, but only if they give the author or licensor the credits in the manner specified by these.

Benefits of Open Access

• Visibility: Authors who publish in ICSSHU benefit from immediate open access to their work, which encourages a greater global audience.
• Usage: Open access articles are more likely to be used and cited than articles that are not freely available, leading to a potential increase in the impact of the research.
• Compliance: Many funding agencies now require that research funded by them be made available under open access. ICSSHU’s open access policy complies with these requirements.

Archiving Policy

ICSSHU utilizes various national library archives as well as digital archives to ensure the long-term preservation of its published articles. Authors are also permitted to archive the final published version of their articles in institutional repositories or on their personal websites, provided the source of publication is acknowledged and a link to the journal’s website is included.

Cost of Publication

ICSSHU does not charge any fees for article submission, processing, or publishing. Our open access policy ensures that all accepted papers are published free of charge to both authors and readers.
