Open Access Policy of Hansen Scientific Publication Society

At the Hansen Scientific Publication Society, we are committed to promoting the global dissemination of scientific knowledge by providing open access to all of our published research. Our open-access policy ensures that all articles published in our journals are freely available to anyone, anywhere, at no cost to readers. This commitment is integral to our mission of advancing scientific knowledge, fostering innovation, and promoting the free exchange of ideas.

Key Principles of Our Open Access Policy

  1. Free Accessibility:
    All research published in our journals is immediately accessible online for free. Readers do not need a subscription or payment to access the full text of articles, ensuring that knowledge is available to everyone, regardless of geographical or institutional limitations.

  2. Open Licensing:
    Our publications are released under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0). This allows others to share, reuse, and adapt the work as long as proper attribution is given to the original authors. This licensing model encourages widespread distribution and the creation of derivative works based on published research, fostering further innovation and collaboration.

  3. Author Retention of Copyright:
    Authors retain full copyright over their works, providing them with the freedom to reuse, distribute, and reproduce their content, while ensuring that their work is disseminated under the open-access model. Authors are encouraged to make their research available to the broadest possible audience, advancing the reach and impact of their findings.

  4. Wide Dissemination:
    Our open-access policy allows research to be shared across the global academic and professional community, facilitating cross-disciplinary collaborations, enabling faster knowledge exchange, and maximizing the impact of scientific advancements. This ensures that scientific knowledge is available to all, from researchers and scholars to policymakers and the general public.

  5. No Financial Barriers:
    As part of our dedication to equity in research dissemination, Hansen Scientific Publication Society ensures that there are no fees for readers or institutions to access the published content. Our open-access model eliminates subscription and paywall barriers, ensuring that all users, regardless of their financial background, can access cutting-edge research.

  6. Compliance with Global Open Access Initiatives:
    Our open-access policy aligns with global initiatives such as the Budapest Open Access Initiative and the Berlin Declaration on Open Access to Knowledge in the Sciences and Humanities, contributing to the wider movement of freely available scholarly information and promoting global collaboration and progress in research.

Benefits of Open Access

  • Maximized Reach and Visibility: Open access maximizes the visibility of research and enhances its citation impact, as freely available papers are more likely to be shared, cited, and referenced by other researchers, institutions, and media outlets.

  • Global Collaboration: By removing access barriers, open access facilitates collaboration across borders, helping researchers from diverse backgrounds come together to address global challenges.

  • Faster Knowledge Transfer: Open access accelerates the flow of knowledge, enabling quicker advancements in fields such as healthcare, technology, environmental sciences, and more.

 

The Hansen Scientific Publication Society’s open-access policy reflects our commitment to advancing research, promoting scientific discovery, and ensuring that knowledge is shared freely and openly with the world. We believe that the free dissemination of scientific work fosters an inclusive, collaborative, and transparent research environment, driving innovation and positive global change.
