Open Access Policy

The Journal of Mechanics of Continua and Mathematical Sciences (JMCMS) is a fully open-access journal, committed to the free and unrestricted availability of high-quality scientific content to the global research community. As part of our mission to promote academic excellence and knowledge dissemination, all published articles in JMCMS are made freely accessible online immediately upon publication—without any subscription or access charges.

This open-access model ensures that researchers, educators, students, and the general public from around the world can:

  • Read any article in its entirety without any limitations.
  • Save and download articles for your academic or personal use.
  • Distribute and reproduce content in any format or medium.
  • For instructional purposes, print or distribute hard copies.
  • Search, index, and reference content for academic work or further research
  • Link directly to articles without needing to navigate paywalls or sign-ups

We believe in the democratization of scientific knowledge and recognize that unrestricted access to research fosters innovation, collaboration, and scholarly growth across geographical and economic boundaries.

Compliance with BOAI Open Access Definition

Our open-access policy completely complies with the definition provided by the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI), which reads:

“By open access to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles…without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself.”

By following this standard, JMCMS ensures that research outputs have the maximum possible impact and utility while also supporting the global movement towards transparent, barrier-free access to academic knowledge.  BOAI definition of open access.
