Open Access Policy

International Journal of Chemical Science and Research (IJCSR) is a fully open access journal which ensures that anyone in any corner of the world can access any article which has been published in the journal. No subscription, no paywalls, no restrictions of access to any article - the readers may read the entire text of every article without signing in or without paying the fee.

We also think that scientific knowledge is to be disseminated. The value of open access to research is that it empowers researchers to reach more people, allows collaboration between fields and allows students, teachers and practitioners to access the most recent discoveries freely.

What Open Access Means

  • Free access to everyone: After an article is published in IJCSR it can be read, downloaded and shared at any cost to any person via the internet.

  • Facilitating discovery: Open access can enable discovery of research by using search engines, academic platforms and indexing services.

  • No subscription or login needed: Readers are not required to open an account and buy access to read complete articles.

  • Authors rights: The authors are also the owners of the rights to their work and free to post their articles in personal or institutional websites

How Open Access Benefits Authors and Readers

For Authors:

  • Increased publicity and access to published work.

  • Social networks and academic networks can be shared more easily.

  • More citation and scholarly possibilities.

For Readers:

  • Real time access to new research findings.

  • Knowledge of the ability to use articles in teaching, research, and practice.

  • No limitations to read published work, financial or technical.

Licensing and Use

Articles that are published are availed on conditions that promote sharing and re-use with due credit. This implies that you can read, save and share the work, however, you are expected to give proper credit to the original authors and the journal. The reuse terms can be identified as a Creative Commons license or some form of license and are clearly stated on every published article.

Our open access policy aims at the same thing; to provide access to quality research in chemical sciences to all individuals who will be in a position to utilize them, regardless of whether they are academicians, industry workers or members of the community. When you have questions about the open access terms, you can contact the editorial office, we are always glad to assist you.
