Open Access Policy

SciFormat Publishing is committed to making scholarly research widely available to the public. As part of our Open Access Policy for journals, we offer a Gold Open Access option for authors who wish to make their research articles freely available online.

Gold Open Access allows authors to publish their manuscripts in our journals, making them immediately accessible for reading, downloading, and reuse without restrictions. To cover the costs of publishing, authors are responsible for paying an Article Processing Charge (APC) for each accepted manuscript. The APC for each journal will be clearly stated on our website and in our Author Guidelines.

Authors can choose to pay the APC at the time of acceptance or during the production process. We understand that different financial circumstances exist, and authors can apply for waivers or discounts on the APC based on their institutional or personal situations. Our goal is to keep the APC as low as possible while maintaining the highest standards of quality and integrity in the publishing process.

All articles published in our journals are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). This means that authors retain the copyright to their content, allowing others to copy, adapt, display, distribute, republish, or otherwise reuse the content, provided proper attribution is given. More detailed information about the CC BY 4.0 License can be found at the Creative Commons website: https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0

Additionally, our Self-archiving Policy permits and encourages authors to deposit their accepted manuscripts in personal websites or institutional repositories both prior to and after publication. Authors should provide proper acknowledgment that credits the publication in SciFormat Publishing, including the title of the journal and a link to the published version available on our website.
