Open Access Policy for JOURNAL STRATEGIC AND INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT

 

The JOURNAL STRATEGIC AND INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT is an Open Access journal. This means that all published articles are immediately and permanently available online to anyone, anywhere, at no cost. Our commitment to Open Access is based on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.

    • Attribution: Users must give appropriate credit, provide a link to the license, and indicate if changes were made. They may do so in any reasonable manner, but not in any way that suggests the licensor endorses them or their use.

Benefits of Open Access

 

  • Wider Dissemination and Impact: Open Access significantly increases the visibility, accessibility, and discoverability of published research, leading to broader readership and potentially higher citation rates.

  • Increased Public Access to Knowledge: It ensures that research funded by public money, or research that can benefit society, is available to everyone, including policymakers, practitioners, students, and the general public, not just those with institutional subscriptions.

  • Facilitates Collaboration: Easy access to research promotes interdisciplinary and international collaboration among researchers.

  • Enhanced Innovation: By making research findings readily available, Open Access can accelerate the pace of innovation and discovery.

 

Funding Model

 

To support our Open Access model and cover the costs associated with publishing (e.g., peer review management, copyediting, typesetting, online hosting, archiving, and indexing), the JOURNAL STRATEGIC AND INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT utilizes an Article Processing Charge (APC) model. Authors or their institutions/funders pay an APC upon acceptance of their manuscript for publication. Details regarding our APCs, including rates and waiver policies, can be found in our dedicated Article Processing Charges Policy.

By adhering to this Open Access Policy, the JOURNAL STRATEGIC AND INNOVATIVE MANAGEMENT aims to contribute to the global scholarly community by promoting the free exchange of scientific knowledge in the fields of strategic and innovative management.
