Open Access Policy
International Scientific Pedagogical Research (ISPR), published by American Irfano Global Academy LLC, applies a full Open Access model to all articles and materials it publishes. This policy is fully aligned with the principles of the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI).
1. Free and unrestricted access
- Unrestricted use: All published articles are made freely and fully available (in PDF format) over the internet immediately upon publication, without any subscription fee or registration requirement.
- User rights: Any reader, student, or researcher has the right to search, read, download, copy, distribute, print, and analyse the scholarly materials for lawful educational and scientific purposes.
2. Copyright and licensing (Creative Commons)
- CC BY licence: All scholarly works published in the journal are distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) licence.
- Reuse condition: Third parties may freely use the material, translate it into other languages, or build upon it in their own research. The only firm condition is that proper bibliographic credit (citation) is given to the original author(s) and to the first source of publication (International Scientific Pedagogical Research, ISPR).
- Retention of rights: Authors retain full copyright to their work and the right to publish it without restriction.
3. Digital archiving and open repositories (Repository Policy)
- Self-archiving: Authors may freely deposit the final published PDF version of their articles on their personal websites, in the electronic libraries of educational institutions, and on academic networks (ResearchGate, Academia.edu, Mendeley, etc.).
- Long-term preservation: To ensure the permanent preservation of scholarly publications, every issue and article is deposited in international open archives (including Zenodo and CERN-based repositories) and is assigned a persistent, non-erasable digital identifier (DOI).
