Open Access Policy

According to MARAM, research gains more value when it is accessible, discussible, and reusable by other academics within the academic community. The journal embraces an open access philosophy, ensuring that the published academic content is accessed outside of the conventional institutional and subscription realms.

MARAM’s open access policy is committed to ensure that there are increased levels of communication among researchers, educators, students, professionals, and all other members of the academic community. This becomes particularly important when it comes to conducting multidisciplinary research since many useful insights can emerge from different areas of knowledge.

Making Research More Accessible

MARAM's open-access approach is intended to:

  • Make publications freely accessible to readers.
  • Help scientists find relevant literature in different fields.
  • Facilitate the exchange of scientific knowledge and discoveries.
  • Promote education and research.
  • Make the publications more visible.
  • Foster collaboration among scientists and organizations.
  • Make emerging research and methods known.

Supporting Knowledge Exchange

Open access may assist research to transcend the confines of individual fields of study or individual institutions. When academic publications are more accessible, researchers are able to identify related literature, make comparisons, and create new research questions

This means that for MARAM, accessibility is related to academic collaboration and the exchange of knowledge. The journal also urges its readers to interact with research published in its pages in an ethical manner by respecting the copyright guidelines.

Long-Term Access to Research

The objective of MARAM is to ensure that the journal’s publications remain available online to keep scholarly works relevant after being initially published.

This is to facilitate the scholarly exchange of information to create an environment where scholarship can be located, debated, cited, and built upon.

Indeed, the open access initiative adopted by MARAM is indicative of its general philosophy of increasing accessibility to multidisciplinary research.
