We are now open access, a change from our previous closed-access system.
RJPPD carries out an Open Access policy that is implemented on all of its manuscripts.
Open Access Definition
By Open Access, we mean to provide free and immediate availability of manuscripts on the internet just after publication. Anyone can easily access these manuscripts, which are available for public viewing without any restrictions or registration on the RJPPD website.
We allow our users (e.g., students, researchers, authors, readers, reviewers, and any other person) to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full text of these articles or use them for any other lawful purpose.
RJPPD Journal provides immediate open access to its manuscripts to offer relevant material at no cost and to assist a large number of researchers, scientists, teachers, and students. This includes:
- Anybody can access the full text of manuscripts published in the RJPPD Journal; manuscripts are available without any registration and other charges.
- By Open Access, we mean free and immediate availability of published work on the public internet.
- Papers are released in open access format.
Article Processing Charge (APC)
