Open Access Policy

The International Journal of Education and Pedagogy (IJEP) is an International journal published in India and is subject to double-blind-peer review. It is being offered as an open-access journal as well as in print version as our motto is “Academic Research without Barriers”.

The International Journal of Education and Pedagogy (IJEP) Journal operates under the tenet that making research publicly available to the public fosters a broader worldwide exchange of knowledge. As such, its content is immediately accessible to all.

Open access policy and open access journals have significantly transformed the landscape of scholarly communication in recent years. This paradigm shift in academic publishing encourages researchers to make their research findings freely accessible to the global community, thereby increasing the dissemination and impact of their work.

Open access journals provide researchers with a platform to publish their findings without restrictive access barriers, enabling widespread dissemination and visibility of their work. This model of publishing also promotes greater collaboration and knowledge sharing within the academic community, fostering innovation and advancement in various fields of study.

One of the key benefits of publishing in open access journals for authors is increased visibility and citation impact. Research articles published in open access journals are more likely to be downloaded, cited, and shared, leading to higher visibility and impact within the academic community. This can ultimately enhance the author's reputation and career prospects.

Another advantage of open access publishing is the potential for greater public engagement and societal impact. By making research findings freely available to the public, authors can reach a wider audience and contribute to the public understanding of science and research.

Furthermore, publishing in open access journals can also lead to faster publication times and greater flexibility in terms of copyright and licensing agreements. Authors retain more control over their work and can choose from a variety of open access publishing models.
