Open Access Policy

Frontiers in Humanities and Social Research is dedicated to promoting free and open access to scholarly knowledge in the fields of humanities and social sciences. In line with its mission to encourage global academic exchange and interdisciplinary collaboration, the journal ensures that all published articles are immediately and permanently available online without any access restrictions.

All research papers, review articles, and scholarly contributions published in the journal can be accessed by readers worldwide without the need for subscriptions, registrations, or payments. Readers are permitted to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, link to, and use the full texts of articles for lawful academic, professional, and educational purposes, provided that proper acknowledgment is given to the original author(s) and the journal.

The journal follows the Gold Open Access publishing model, guaranteeing unrestricted and continuous access to its content through the journal’s official website and digital repositories. This approach supports long-term preservation and enhances the international visibility of published research.

Authors retain full ownership of their work while granting the journal a non-exclusive right to publish, distribute, and archive their articles in all formats and media. All publications are released under an appropriate Creative Commons license (such as CC BY), which permits responsible reuse, adaptation, and redistribution with proper attribution.

By adopting this open access policy, the journal aims to expand the reach and impact of humanities and social science research, benefiting researchers, educators, policymakers, and the wider public.
