Open Access Policy

Ege Scholar Journal provides open access by adopting the principle of making scientific research freely available to the public and aims to increase global knowledge sharing.

Ege Scholar Journal accepts the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) definition of "Open Access".

 "Open access" refers to the free availability on the public Internet that allows any user to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full text of articles published in the journal, crawl them for indexing, import them as data into software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those integral to gaining access to the Internet itself. The only restriction on reproduction and distribution, and the only role of copyright in this area, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to have it appropriately acknowledged and cited.

Ege Scholar Journal provides immediate open access to its content on the principle that making research freely available to the public supports a greater global exchange of knowledge.
