According to the Budapest, Berlin, and Bethesda declarations, IJESM defines open access based on the following conditions:

Peer-reviewed literature is accessible to all users without the need for subscriptions or payment. The literature is made available in an open access format without any delay period. Users are permitted to reuse published material without seeking permission, provided that they provide an accurate citation to the original publication.

From 2011 onwards, the International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology has adopted the Creative Commons Attribution License external link for publishing articles. This license, specifically the latest version of XXXXXX, provides authors with comprehensive rights, allowing reproduction for non-commercial purposes.

All articles published in the International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology, including data, graphics, and supplements, can be freely linked from external sources, indexed by search engines, and utilized by text mining applications, websites, blogs, and similar platforms. The only requirement is that proper accreditation of the source and original publisher is provided. IJESM strongly supports open access publishing as it encourages the exchange of research findings among scientists from various disciplines, thereby facilitating interdisciplinary research. Open access publishing also ensures that researchers worldwide, including those from developing countries, as well as the general public, have access to research results. While IJESM adopts the open-access model for all its journals, we recognize that open access can coexist with other forms of communication and publication, such as society-based publishing and conferencing activities, enriching the scholarly communication process.

Please be aware that IJESM does not own the copyright or the right to re-license the published content used in some articles (particularly Reviews) that incorporate figures, tables, or text obtained from other publications. Please note that the new author should check with the original author before using any of their work.

The benefits of Open Access for authors are numerous. The assurance of high availability and visibility of our open access articles is ensured by the unrestricted and complimentary accessibility of the publication over the Internet. The International Journal of Engineering Trends and Technology allows unrestricted access and downloading of all published articles. Open access readers, such as fellow researchers, are not required to make any payments for subscriptions or pay-per-view charges in order to access the articles. Open access articles are also more prone to being incorporated into search engines and indexing databases.

The increased citation impact observed in open access articles can be attributed to their heightened visibility and accessibility. It has been empirically observed that open access articles receive a higher frequency of citations.

Lower Publishing Costs:Open access publishers are able to reduce the financial burden on authors by covering the costs associated with editorial handling and paper editing through the collection of fees from authors’ institutes or research funding agencies.

IJESM’s open access papers are only available online, which speeds up publication.
