What is Open Access?

Open Access is an ongoing publication practice which differs in the way traditional methods of publishing papers to the public. Publishing open access means your research article is free for anyone to read, regardless if they, or their institution, subscribe to the journal in which the article is published. In Open Access publication model neither readers nor a reader’s institution are charged for access to articles or other resources. Users are free to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles for any non-commercial purpose.

JFMCE follows the Open Access model. The publication cost should be covered by the author’s institution or research funds. These Open Access charges replace subscription charges and allow the JFMCE to make the valuable published materials freely accessible to all interested online visitors, especially the researchers and young scholars from developing countries.
