Open Access Policy

The International Journal of Chemical Science and Research (IJCSR) is committed to promoting the global dissemination of scientific knowledge through a fully open access publishing model. Under this policy, all articles published in the journal are made freely and permanently available online immediately upon publication. Readers are not required to pay any subscription fees or access charges to read, download, or share the journal’s content. This approach enhances the visibility, accessibility, and impact of research in the field of chemical sciences and related interdisciplinary disciplines.

The journal recognizes that open access publishing plays an important role in accelerating scientific progress and facilitating collaboration among researchers, academicians, scientists, and industry professionals worldwide. By providing unrestricted access to research findings, IJCSR supports the broader exchange of scientific knowledge and encourages the application of chemical research in addressing contemporary scientific, technological, environmental, and industrial challenges.

Authors publishing in the journal retain the copyright of their work. By submitting and publishing their manuscripts in IJCSR, authors grant the publisher a non-exclusive license to publish, distribute, and archive the article as part of the permanent scholarly record. All published articles are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution–NonCommercial–NoDerivatives (CC BY-NC-ND 4.0) License.

All articles are published without embargo, ensuring immediate and unrestricted access to the final published version. Each article is assigned a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) to provide a permanent and reliable link to the published content, facilitating accurate citation, indexing, and long-term discoverability in academic databases and digital platforms.

To ensure the long-term preservation and accessibility of scholarly content, the journal follows reliable digital archiving and preservation practices. Published articles are securely stored and preserved in trusted digital systems to safeguard the integrity and availability of the scholarly record over time.

The journal maintains transparency in all aspects of its open access publishing practices, including copyright ownership, licensing terms, and access rights.
