At Newton Gate, we are committed to promoting open access to scholarly research to maximize the global impact and accessibility of knowledge. Our Open Access Policy reflects our dedication to making high-quality research freely available to readers worldwide. Below are the key components of our Open Access Policy:
- Open Access Model: Newton Gate adopts an open access publishing model, which means that all articles published in our journals are freely accessible to readers without any subscription or paywall barriers. This allows researchers, students, practitioners, and the general public to access and benefit from the latest scholarly findings without restrictions.
- Author Rights: Authors retain copyright of their published work and grant Newton Gate a non-exclusive license to publish and distribute the article under a Creative Commons license. This enables authors to retain control over their intellectual property rights while allowing others to share and reuse the work with proper attribution.
- Types of Open Access: Newton Gate offers different types of open access options to authors, including:
Gold Open Access: Articles are immediately and freely available upon publication on the Newton Gate website.
Hybrid Open Access: Authors have the option to make their article open access by paying an article processing fee, while non-open access articles are accessible through subscription.
Green Open Access: Authors can self-archive a preprint or postprint version of their manuscript in an institutional repository or another open access platform after an embargo period.
- Licensing: All articles published under the open access model are licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license, which allows others to distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon the work for any purpose, provided proper attribution is given to the original authors.
- Funding Mandates: Newton Gate complies with funding agency mandates that require open access dissemination of research results. Authors are encouraged to comply with their funders’ open access policies and to acknowledge any financial support received in their published articles.
- Archiving and Preservation: Newton Gate is committed to the long-term preservation and accessibility of published content. Articles are archived in digital repositories and indexing databases to ensure their availability for future generations of scholars and researchers.
- Transparency and Compliance: Newton Gate provides clear and transparent information about its open access policies, including article processing fees, licensing terms, and copyright policies. Authors, readers, and institutional stakeholders can access detailed information about our open access practices on our website.
