Open Access
The journal is open access, meaning that all content is freely available to the user or their institution. Users are free to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles in this journal without seeking prior permission from the publisher or author. This is in line with the BOAI definition of open access.
Open access has received overwhelming support from both authors, who value the increased visibility of their work, and from academic institutions and funding organizations, who value the public impact of freely available research results.
