Open Access Policy
The IASMPMM International Journal of Reproductive and Sexual Medicine is based on the premise that knowledge and scientific data should be accessible in an unbiased manner.
Open access might facilitate access to research by researchers, clinicians, health care practitioners, students, and policymakers alike.
Benefits of Open Access:
Let’s discuss some of the benefits of open access.
| Benefit | Contribution |
|---|---|
| Accessibility | Makes research available to a broader audience |
| Visibility | Improves discoverability of published research |
| Knowledge Sharing | Supports wider dissemination of findings |
| Collaboration | Encourages interdisciplinary and international research |
| Education | Supports students and healthcare professionals |
| Public Health | Helps evidence reach broader healthcare communities |
Under an open-access model, published articles may be accessible to readers without subscription or paywall restrictions, subject to the journal's applicable licensing conditions.
Open Access Principles
The journal seeks to:
- Promote equitable access to scientific research.
- Support responsible dissemination of medical knowledge.
- Clearly communicate copyright and licensing conditions.
- Inform authors about their rights.
- Encourage legitimate academic sharing.
- Maintain high standards of research integrity.
In case an open license is applied, the applicable license requirements should be made clear.
Moreover, the journal understands the significance of sustainable scholarly publishing. If there are any APCs that apply, these should be clearly disclosed and kept separate from editorial considerations.
Through its open-access approach, IIJRSM aims to contribute to the broader dissemination of research and support evidence-based developments in reproductive and sexual medicine.
