Open Access Policy

Journal of Wound Research and Technology (JWRT) is a gold open-access journal. Article processing charges are covered by authors, ensuring that all articles are freely available on the journal’s website.

JNJ fully adheres to the principles of the Budapest Open Access Initiative (BOAI) and the DOAJ Open Access Definition. In this context, “open access” means that articles are freely available on the public internet. Users may read, download, copy, print, search, or link to the full text; use it for text- and data-mining; or reuse it for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers beyond those required for internet access. The only restrictions on reproduction and distribution are those necessary to protect the integrity of the work and to ensure that authors receive appropriate acknowledgement and citation.

Authors retain full and unrestricted copyright and publishing rights to their work. At the same time, they grant JWRT/Indonesian Science Media Publisher the right to act as the publisher and to make the first publication of all accepted material.

Separate permission from JWRT is not required for reuse, because copyright remains with the authors. Articles are published under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 4.0 International (CC BY-SA 4.0) License. Users may use, share, and adapt material for any purpose, with attribution, license citation, and change disclosure, retaining the same license for derivatives and imposing no technological or contractual restrictions..
