Open Access Policy

The EBCRI Academic Journal is a Gold Open Access publication. All articles are freely and immediately available to readers worldwide — no subscription, no registration, no embargo.

How It Works

•        All accepted articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International licence (CC BY 4.0).

•        Authors retain full copyright ownership of their work. EBCRI does not require copyright transfer.

•        Readers may read, download, share, adapt, and build upon any published article for any purpose — including commercial use — provided appropriate credit is given.

•        Authors may self-archive any version of their manuscript (pre-print, post-print, or published version) in any repository, at any time, with no embargo.

Article Processing Charges

A modest Article Processing Charge (APC) is applicable upon acceptance to cover peer review, editing, hosting, and archiving. There are no submission fees, and rejection incurs no charge.
