Open Access Policy

1. Principles of Open Access

The Medical Technology Journal of Applied Science (MTJAS) is a proud advocate for the principles of open-access publishing. We believe that scholarly research should be freely available to the global community to foster innovation, collaboration, and the rapid dissemination of knowledge. Our open-access policy ensures that all published content is immediately accessible online without any subscription fees or access barriers.

2. Copyright and Licensing

  • Copyright: Authors of articles published in MTJAS retain full copyright to their work.

  • Licensing: All articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license. This license permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction of the content in any medium, provided that the original work is properly cited. This includes sharing, adapting, and building upon the work for any purpose, even commercially.

3. Benefits of Open Access

This policy provides significant benefits to both authors and the scientific community:

  • Increased Visibility and Impact: Open access dramatically increases the potential readership of an article, leading to higher citation rates and greater influence within the field.

  • Wider Dissemination: Research findings are made available to a broad audience, including researchers, students, clinicians, and the general public, regardless of their institutional affiliations or ability to pay.

  • Enhanced Collaboration: By removing barriers to access, the policy encourages interdisciplinary collaboration and accelerates the pace of scientific discovery.

4. Article Processing Charges (APCs)

To cover the costs associated with publication—including manuscript management, peer review administration, editing, and online hosting—MTJAS levies an Article Processing Charge (APC) upon acceptance of a manuscript. This fee allows us to maintain our open-access model and provide a high-quality service to our authors and readers. Information regarding the current APC can be found on the journal's website under the "For Authors" section.
