Commitment to Open Access 

The ACCSMI Journal is committed to promoting the free and unrestricted dissemination of scholarly research by eliminating financial and access-related barriers to publication. The journal follows a fully open-access publishing model, ensuring that all published articles are immediately and permanently available to readers worldwide without subscription or registration requirements. This approach strengthens global knowledge exchange and supports collaboration among researchers across disciplines and regions.

Complete Waiver of APC

Authors submitting manuscripts to the ACCSMI Journal are not required to pay any Article Publication Charges (APCs). The journal provides a complete waiver for all accepted manuscripts, covering submission, peer review, editorial evaluation, revisions, copyediting, typesetting, publication, DOI and long-term online hosting. By removing financial obligations, the journal ensures that publication decisions are based solely on academic merit, not authors’ funding capacity.

Free DOI Assignment and Digital Accessibility

To ensure permanent discoverability and reliable citation, the ACCSMI Journal assigns Digital Object Identifiers (DOIs) free of cost to all published articles. DOIs provide stable, permanent links, enhance international visibility, and support accurate referencing across global indexing platforms and academic databases.

Benefits for Authors and Readers

All content published in the ACCSMI Journal is freely accessible worldwide with no subscription, login, or payment requirements. This unrestricted access significantly increases article visibility, readership, and citation potential. The policy is particularly beneficial for early-career researchers, independent scholars, and researchers from low- and middle-income regions who may face funding limitations. Educators, students, and practitioners also benefit from immediate access to current research findings.

Authors are not charged for color figures, supplementary materials, datasets, or access to published articles. Editorial and peer-review decisions are made based on originality, quality, relevance, and ethical research standards.
