Open Access Policy

DOP Journal is an open access journal, which means that all contents are freely available without subscription charges or registration barriers to users or their institutions. This policy is based on the principle that making research openly accessible to the public encourages a greater global exchange of knowledge.

The journal also supports the Initiative for Open Citations (I4OC), which aims not only to make full-text articles accessible to the public but also to ensure that article references are equally valuable and openly available. As part of this commitment, DOP Journal submits citation data to Crossref to enhance the visibility and usability of scholarly references.

Users are permitted to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of articles published in this journal without requesting prior permission from the publisher or the authors, provided that the original authors are properly acknowledged. All articles published in DOP Journal are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 (CC BY-SA 4.0) license.
