The International Journal of Sustainability (IJS) is committed to the principles of open and accessible knowledge dissemination. The journal operates under a full open-access model, ensuring that all published articles are freely available to readers worldwide immediately upon publication. No subscription fees, paywalls, or login requirements restrict access to the journal’s content.
IJS does not charge authors any article processing fees (APCs) or publication charges. All stages of publication—from submission and peer review to editing and online hosting—are provided at no cost to authors. This policy reflects the journal’s mission to support equitable access to high-quality educational research and promote global scholarly exchange.
Authors retain copyright of their published work and grant the journal the right to distribute the article under an approved Creative Commons license. This allows readers to read, download, copy, distribute, print, and reference the work for non-commercial scholarly purposes, provided proper attribution is given. The journal encourages ethical and responsible use of published content, consistent with international standards of academic communication.
No prior permission is required to use or distribute content according to the terms of the journal’s open-access license. All articles are permanently available on the journal website and archived to ensure long-term preservation and accessibility.
Through its open-access policy, IJS seeks to enhance the visibility, impact, and global reach of contemporary educational research by removing financial, institutional, and technical barriers to knowledge.
