Authors who publish on IJMLST can share their research in a number of ways. IJMLST does not impose an embargo on published journals, meaning that researchers can access it openly after the article is published. Researchers who have subscribed to access to articles can also share.
IJMLST already uses the Open Journal System (OJS) thereby enabling the final version of all published research articles to be placed in any digital archive immediately after publication. IJMLST can automatically make feeds of open access articles available to any repository that wishes to receive them.
