Open Access Policy

The Journal of Social Policy and Practice (JSPP) is an Open Access journal, which pursues a complete open access publication system, meaning all the accepted and published articles get to be freely accessible online, as soon as they are published. This policy enables readers regardless of their geographical locations to get scholarly contents without the need to subscribe, to log in or to spend money. The journal is of the opinion that knowledge, which is available free, encourages academic development, social consciousness, and wise decision-making.

Open access publishing broadens the visibility, accessibility, and scholarly contribution of the research studies by making it easily accessible to the researcher, students, institutions, and policymakers globally. It also helps in transparency of communication in the academic field and promotes practical applicability of the research findings in real world conditions.
