Open Access Policy

The Journal of Social Knowledge and Practice (JSKP) has a full-open access publishing
business model whereby all published articles are instantly and freely accessible to the
readers globally. This policy indicates that the journal considers the transfer of academic
knowledge freely and supports the inclusion of scholarly communication to everyone.
Open access enables researchers, educators, students, practitioners and the general
population to access published material with no subscription or institutional limitations. The
journal facilitates the achievement of equal learning, research advancement and career
development globally by eliminating financial and access constraints.
Major Characteristics of the Open Access Policy:
● Immediate Availability: Articles are available online immediately after they are
published without delay.
● Free Reader Access: There is no need to subscribe or register to access, download,
and read articles.
● International Exposure: The research is exposed to more global viewers,
enhancing the academic influence and citation abilities.
● Knowledge Sharing: Promotes collaboration, discussion and cross disciplinary
learning of scholars and professionals.
● Ethical and Transparent Publication: Conforms to general academic values that
facilitate transparency, honesty and responsible publication of research.

Authors and Readers' Benefits

To writers, open access makes their work more visible and discoverable and allows research
to leverage more communities than just the traditional academic community. It provides the
readers with unlimited and uninterrupted access to up-to-date studies, which facilitate the
learning process, innovation, and making sound decisions.
By means of such a policy, JSKP wants to create an academic climate where the knowledge
is not restricted by geographical or budgetary factors, rather it is shared by all to stimulate
the further growth, discussion, and valuable social evolution.
