Publishing options

Journal of Social Science and Humanities Research is a Transformative Journal (TJ). Once the paper is accepted for publication, authors will have the option to choose how their article is published:

Traditional publishing model – published articles are made available to institutions and individuals who subscribe to Hybrid or who pay to read specific articles. There is no charge to publish.
Open Access – when an article is accepted for publication, the author/s or funder/s pay an Article Processing Charge (APC). The final version of the published article is then free to read for everyone.
Journal of Research in Science, Engineering, and Technology is actively committed to becoming a fully Open Access journal. JSSHR will increase the number of articles are published open access (OA), with the eventual goal of becoming a fully Open Access journal. A journal that commits to this process is known as a Transformative Journal.

A Transformative Journal is a subscription or hybrid journal that has committed to transitioning to fully OA – authors can choose between gold OA, or subscription publication, based on their preferences, funder or institutional requirements, and APC funding availability.
