Open Access Policy

We are entirely convinced of the need to neither limit knowledge nor to limit individuals to the
notion of financial or institutional considerations at the International Journal of Holistic
Research Paradigms (IJHRP). Research was designed to be shared, discussed and
enlarged. Where access is restricted, the progress will be slowed. This is the reason why
IJHRP adheres to the full open access model of publication where all articles published by
the journal are made free and open to all readers worldwide.
We do not only offer an open-access format of publishing but are committed to inclusivity,
transparency, and knowledge democratization.

Immediate and Free Accessibility

IJHRP publishes all of its articles online as soon as they are published. Access to full text
articles can be done without:

  • Subscription fees
  • Registration requirements
  • Institutional logins
  • Pay-per-view charges

It implies that the research that we publish can equally benefit students, independent
researchers, practitioners and scholars in both developing and developed regions.

Benefits of Open Access

Our open access policy is beneficial to both the authors and the readers.

For Authors:

  • Increased international research publicity.
  • Wider dissemination across academic and professional communities.
  • Increased potential for citations and academic impact
  • Greater speed in disseminating the results to policy makers and practitioners.

For Readers:

  • Unlimited and free access to academic materials.
  • Lack of restriction to download and refer to research.
  • Availability of various interdisciplinary studies on a single platform.

Through elimination of barriers we enable research to go more far and enhance academic
relationships across the global arena.

Author Rights and Responsible Sharing

IJHRP honors the intellectual property of authors. Authors also reserve the right to their work
and give the journal the right and freedom to publish and distribute the work.
Articles can be accessed, downloaded and used, as scholarly and non-commercial purposes
on the condition that the original source should be cited. We highly recommend responsible
referencing and usage of published materials.

Quality and Integrity Remain Our Priority

The concept of open access does not involve quality cut-offs. All submissions are subject to
a formal peer-review to guarantee:

  • Authenticity and originality.
  • Academic rigor
  • Relevance to the focus of the journal.
  • Adherence to ethical standards of publishing.

Editorial Policies and Vision for Open Knowledge

The editorial policies of our journal are aimed to ensure credibility, transparency, and
academic quality throughout the publication.

IJHRP will strive to achieve a more fair academic landscape through our Open Access
Policy, in which research is not enclosed by gates but can be accessed to study, cooperate,
and create.
The International Journal of Holistic Research Paradigms (IJHRP) continues to develop a
culture of responsible open scholarship that benefits researchers in our age and inspires
knowledge in the future.
