Open Access Policy

The Journal of Management Research and Review (JMRR) is fully committed to the principles of open access (OA) publishing to promote unrestricted and immediate access to high-quality scholarly research in the field of management. Our open access policy ensures that all published articles are freely accessible to readers worldwide, fostering knowledge dissemination, collaboration, and innovation.

Open Access Model

JMRR operates under a Gold Open Access model, where the final published version of all articles is made available online immediately upon publication without any paywalls, subscription barriers, or registration requirements. This maximizes the visibility, accessibility, and impact of the research we publish.

Licensing and Author Rights

  • All articles are published under a Creative Commons Attribution (CC BY) license, which permits users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of the articles, and to use them for any lawful purpose, provided appropriate credit is given to the original authors and source.

  • Authors retain full copyright of their work, granting the journal a non-exclusive license to publish and disseminate their research.

  • This licensing fosters academic sharing and reuse while protecting authors’ rights.

Benefits of Open Access in JMRR

  • Immediate access: Research becomes available worldwide as soon as it is published, enabling rapid knowledge uptake and policy application.

  • Increased reach and citations: Open access articles typically have higher visibility and citation rates than subscription-based publications.

  • Global inclusion: Researchers, practitioners, students, and policy-makers—including those from developing regions or institutions with limited resources—can access cutting-edge management research without financial barriers.

  • Facilitates collaboration: Open access supports multi-disciplinary and cross-cultural research collaborations by democratizing access.

Article Processing Charges (APC)

  • To sustain open access publishing, JMRR charges an Article Processing Charge (APC) upon acceptance of manuscripts, detailed on our Publication Fees page.

  • There are no fees for submission or peer review.

  • The APC supports editorial management, peer review coordination, professional production, online hosting, indexing, and archiving services.

Self-Archiving and Institutional Repositories

Authors are encouraged to deposit accepted manuscripts or published articles in institutional or subject-specific repositories (“Green Open Access”), without embargo, in accordance with funder and publisher policies. This practice further enhances discoverability and compliance with open access mandates.

Compliance and Transparency

JMRR’s open access policy aligns with international standards and funder requirements (such as Plan S) to facilitate authors’ adherence to institutional and governmental OA mandates. The policy is reviewed periodically to stay current with evolving open science practices.

Contact and Support

For questions regarding the open access policy, licensing, or APC payment options, authors and readers are welcome to contact the JMRR editorial office through the journal website.

JMRR’s commitment to open access underscores our dedication to accelerating the free exchange of knowledge, advancing global management scholarship, and empowering researchers and professionals worldwide.
