Open Access Policy

Astra Academic Press supports broad, responsible, and sustainable dissemination of scholarship through an open access publishing model.

Immediate Access

Articles published by Astra Academic Press are intended to be made publicly available online without subscription barriers, enabling timely access for readers, researchers, institutions, and the wider scholarly community.

Author Rights and Licensing

Authors retain rights in accordance with the journal or publication agreement. Specific license terms, reuse permissions, and attribution requirements are defined at the journal level and should be reviewed before submission and publication.

Publication Charges

Where article processing charges or other publication fees apply, these will be communicated transparently through the relevant journal information pages before submission. If no fee is charged, that status should also be stated clearly by the journal.

Archiving and Repository Use

Astra Academic Press encourages responsible archiving and repository deposit in line with each journal's license, embargo status if any, and version policy. Institutional repositories and author self-archiving should preserve attribution and citation integrity.
