Open Access Policy

Open access at NADT Journals means that all published articles are made freely available online immediately upon publication. Readers may access, read, download, and use the content without subscription fees or registration requirements, subject to proper attribution and licensing terms.

All articles published in JHSS and JERS are freely accessible to readers across the globe. No subscription, registration, or payment is required to access the full text of published articles.

Currently, NADT Journals does not charge any article processing charges (APCs), submission fees, or publication fees. The open-access model is supported by the publisher in order to encourage equitable participation in scholarly communication.

Articles published in NADT Journals are distributed under a Creative Commons license, as specified at the time of publication. This allows users to reuse, share, and distribute the content in accordance with the applicable license terms and with proper attribution to the author(s) and the journal.

Authors retain copyright over their published work and are encouraged to share their articles through personal websites, institutional repositories, and academic networks, provided appropriate citation and acknowledgment of original publication in NADT Journals is maintained.

NADT Journals’ open-access policy operates in alignment with ethical publishing standards consistent with COPE principles and quality parameters promoted under the UGC-CARE framework. Open access does not compromise editorial independence, peer review rigor, or academic quality.
