Open Access Policy

Unrestricted Access to Scientific Knowledge

The International Journal of Physics Research and Applications (IJPRA) is committed to the principles of open-access publishing, ensuring that all published content is freely accessible to researchers, educators, students, and the general public without financial, legal, or technical barriers.

By adopting an open-access model, we aim to enhance the visibility, discoverability, and impact of physics research worldwide. Our journal provides a platform for scientists to share their findings openly, fostering collaboration and advancing scientific knowledge.

Global Accessibility

All articles published in IJPRA are available online for free, allowing users to:

  • Read, download, and share research articles without restrictions.
  • Utilize findings for academic, educational, and research purposes.
  • Access high-quality physics research irrespective of geographical or financial limitations.

By removing access barriers, we ensure that scientific advancements in physics are widely disseminated and utilized for further innovation.

Copyright and Licensing

All articles in IJPRA are published under the Creative Commons Attribution License (CC BY 4.0), allowing unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction, provided that the original work is properly credited.

This license supports open collaboration in the physics community, allowing researchers to build upon existing work, promote innovation, and accelerate scientific progress.

Article Processing Charges (APCs)

To sustain open-access publishing, IJPRA applies a transparent Article Processing Charge (APC) that covers:

  • Rigorous peer-review management.
  • Editorial processing and high-quality production.
  • Permanent digital archiving and indexing in leading repositories.
  • Open-access hosting and unrestricted article distribution.

We provide APC waivers or discounts to researchers from low-income countries, ensuring that financial limitations do not hinder the dissemination of high-quality research.

Digital Archiving and Preservation

To guarantee the long-term preservation of published research, IJPRA collaborates with digital archiving partners, including:

  • Portico – Ensuring long-term accessibility of published articles.
  • LOCKSS – Preserving research through decentralized archival systems.
  • CrossRef – Assigning DOI numbers for accurate citation tracking.

These archiving measures safeguard the accessibility and integrity of scientific contributions for future generations.

Commitment to Open Science

As part of our mission to promote open science, IJPRA encourages:

  • Open Data: Authors are encouraged to share datasets that support their research findings.
  • Preprint Availability: Early sharing of research before formal peer review.
  • Transparent Peer Review: A rigorous yet constructive review process that enhances research quality.

We believe that open-access publishing empowers researchers, accelerates scientific breakthroughs, and enhances collaboration in the field of physics.

Advantages of Publishing Open Access

Publishing in IJPRA provides numerous benefits:

  • Global Reach: Articles are accessible to researchers worldwide, maximizing readership.
  • Higher Citation Rates: Open-access content has increased discoverability and academic impact.
  • Accelerated Knowledge Transfer: Unrestricted sharing of research findings fosters collaboration.
  • Unrestricted Reuse: Researchers can freely build upon published work with proper attribution.

By choosing open access, authors ensure that their research contributes to the collective advancement of physics and related disciplines.
