Open Access and Information Policy

The Journal of Humanities, Education and Cultural Reforms (JHECR) is committed to the principles of open access. We believe that the free and unrestricted availability of research advances knowledge and promotes the global exchange of ideas, particularly in critical areas such as humanities, education, and cultural development.

Key Features of Our Open Access Policy:

• Immediate Access: All articles published in JHECR are freely accessible to readers worldwide immediately upon publication. There are no subscription fees or paywalls, ensuring that anyone, anywhere, can benefit from the research we publish.
• Creative Commons Licensing: Articles are published under a Creative Commons Attribution License 4.0 (CC BY 4.0), which allows users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, and share the work, as long as the original author is properly credited. This fosters greater collaboration and wider dissemination of research.
• Author Rights: Authors retain full copyright of their work, with the journal only requiring permission to publish under open access terms. Authors are encouraged to share their research through personal or institutional repositories, ensuring their work reaches a broad audience.
• No Embargo Period: JHECR does not impose an embargo period. All articles are made freely available as soon as they are published, supporting the prompt dissemination of new research findings.
• Article Processing Charges (APCs): In order to support open access publishing, JHECR may charge Article Processing Charges (APCs) to cover the costs of peer review, editing, and hosting. However, we are committed to keeping APCs affordable, and waivers or discounts are available for authors from developing countries or those with limited funding.
• Global Reach and Impact: By adopting an open access model, JHECR ensures that its content is accessible to a global readership, from academics and practitioners to policymakers and students. This approach maximizes the journal’s impact, contributing to the development of humanities, education, and cultural development worldwide.
