Open Access policy

Reformasi Hukum journal provides open access to all of its content, meaning that all articles are freely available to anyone, whether individuals or institutions, without any cost. Our open access policy ensures that research articles are immediately accessible to the public, supporting the global exchange of knowledge. This aligns with the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) definition of open access.

In line with our open access model, users are allowed to:

  • Read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full text of articles.
  • Crawl articles for indexing purposes.
  • Use the content for lawful purposes, such as incorporating it into software or other works, without needing prior permission from the publisher or author.

The main principles of open access that Reformasi Hukum supports are:

  • No Registration or Price Barriers: Peer-reviewed literature is freely available without any requirements for users to register or pay fees to access the content.
  • Immediate Open Access: All articles are immediately available in open access format upon publication, with no embargo periods.
  • Reusability of Published Material: Published content can be reused freely, provided a correct citation to the original publication is given.

We fully adopt and adhere to the BOAI definition of open access, which states:

“By ‘open access to [peer-reviewed research literature], we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.”

By supporting these open access principles, Reformasi Hukum aims to facilitate the free and wide dissemination of research, contributing to a greater global exchange of knowledge.
