Open Access Policy

The editorial office of journal practice the Open Access policy to the published content, supporting the principles of free dissemination of scientific information and global exchange of knowledge for social progress.

Full-text access to all scientific papers / articles of the journal is presented in the «Archives» section. The content of the journal is available free of charge to all users. Users are permitted to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search and link to the full texts of papers / articles or use them for any other lawful purpose (other than commercial) without seeking prior permission from the journal publisher or the author(s) of the article as long as the reference is made to the source.

This is consistent with the definition of open access under the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) and the Berlin Declaration Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities. The licensing policy is compatible with the overwhelming majority of open access and archiving policies.
