Open Access Policy

Open Access Policy

The International Journal of Artificial Intelligence, Social Sciences and Humanities (IJAISSH) is a fully open-access journal, aligned with the principles of the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI).

Our Commitment

All articles published in IJAISSH are immediately and permanently available to the public free of charge. No subscription, registration, or pay-per-view fees are required to access any published content. We believe that unrestricted access to research accelerates scientific discovery and benefits society as a whole.

License

All published articles are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0), which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

No Embargo Period

IJAISSH imposes no embargo period on published content. Articles are freely accessible from the moment of publication and remain so indefinitely.

Self-Archiving

Authors are encouraged to deposit their published articles in:

  • Institutional repositories
  • Subject-specific repositories
  • Personal and departmental websites
  • Preprint servers (e.g., arXiv, SSRN, OSF Preprints)

Both the preprint (submitted version) and the Version of Record (published version) may be shared freely at any time.

Funder Mandate Compliance

IJAISSH's open-access policy is compliant with the mandates of major research funders, including NIH, NSF, Wellcome Trust, UKRI, and Horizon Europe (Plan S). Authors funded by these agencies can publish in IJAISSH in full compliance with their open-access requirements.

Long-Term Access

IJAISSH is committed to the long-term preservation and accessibility of published content through digital archiving initiatives. See our Archiving Policy for details.
